I'm getting real close to buying a .308 Win rifle with a 24" 1:11 twist barrel, is 24" wasted on, or even detrimental to the .308 Win cartridge?
Thanks

Yep.24 is a good length.

Getting sick and tired of the Creedmoor talk.[/QUOT
music to my ears lol. i was going to put 7.6 CM on my 308. the 6.5cm guys were sweating bullets about the 7.6 until they realized it was april 1st.
wish they would do that with a .300 savage, now THAT id buy.....Surprised people fell for that. Retitle the 308 win in metric and stamp Creedmoor on the rear and sales will go through the roof.
No it isn't "wasted", you get some more FPS from it, although it can be debated as to whether those extra FSP are worth it in "XYZ" application.is 24" wasted on, or even detrimental to the .308 Win cartridge?
The bench won't notice the extra length or weight, and for that, I'd run 24-26" minimum.Thanks THR, this rifle I'm considering would be strictly for bench work. I would plan on re-barreling it when the time comes so I could make any adjustments then, I just don't want to spend time and components shooting out a handicapped barrel to start with is why I asked the question.

After about 80 calibers, what you gain in velocity is not worth the extra length and unwieldiness....
