7.5" gets you the A-Tip in all atmospheres and I find it strange brew to concoct something,that won't even eat your own wares. It all plays nice in typical 2.800"-ish COAL OEM mag confines. Hint.
88's will do nice things in 8" and that's better than 9". Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

I have a 7 twist HH that should find it's way onto a Montana honestly. Kinda think that'd be the combo I'd like the most. And probably least amount of money overall to get there.
I only have (5) rifles so chambered,with only 1-7",7.5" and 8" represented. Hint.
The 224 Speedmire shines brightly in a Montucky and The 'Horn has (3) of 'em. 88's are a Holy Fhuqking TERROR,no matter what they are inserted into and 80's are piles of fhuqking schit in comparison. Hint................

Agreed, 1:7.5 or 1:7 is the way to roll. One of the rifle manufacturers will see the forest through the trees.
Montucky,Waypoint and Element. Hint.............(grin)

R28 - you said Maximize performance.......well anything over 23-24" is more than I want, but I would go 22-23 if you want good handling vs a say 26" - blast it going to go up obviously. If you are not running a can, and want a portable sporter to carry, I would go 22-23 with a #2 - #3 contour, given the 22 bore, should shoot fine. I do like short stiff barrels, but my ears matter also, even with hearing protection, so there comes a point.....
Bore size and powder capacity as you can imagine affect powder burn per length, therefore performance and blast. Just depends on application. For a handy truck gun, a 17-20" works well, but one will lose some speed and increase blast. IIRC, Heavies have less 'loss' as you shorten tube vs running lighter bullet weights.
I would expect a nominal loss of 35-40 fps per 1" (starting at say 24/26) just a SWAG........
