Hi Robert - thanks for doing this again!
I'm going to go option 1 in 22 Creedmoor. Plan on shooting as wide a range of bullets as possible, with app. 80 gr being the heaviest and most used (mainly 77 gr. Sierra TMK), although I'd want to go down as low as 50 if possible. Thinking an 1-8 twist at 24". Do you agree or?
Also, can I get the Area 419 Hellfire brake, and a box mag vs. bottom metal?
Thanks again!

What would be the best shortest barrel length for the 280ai could you get away with 20” without our killing the velocity?

Hell fire = yes, but I have what may be a better option listed in the upgrades. For guys wanting DBM.....we could do the HS Precision add-on as we have in the past. Just do your research and make sure the mags will provide the internal length you need for what you have planned.Last edited by Stick1; 02-22-2021, 11:08 AM.

Given the small diameter of the bullet, small changes in weight have a bigger impact on bullet lengths........which have bigger impacts on twist rates. The lower velocity rounds will let you get away with a little more variation. Twist rates of 7" or 7.5" are probably the most common for folks focusing on the 80 gr range of bullets. Unless it was a mono or downloaded considerably, I'd not count on a 50 or 55 gr pill making the trip.
And could I change up the bottom metal?
