A 23.5" to 24" barrel will get you about 2,875fps to 2,940fps with 140gr. bullets in 98-type or modern actions. These are very flat shotoing loads and I've never had any problems with carrying a 24" barrel.

It depends what style of rifle you are building. For myself I built to the style of the 1920's - 30's english stalking rifle and then 25in just looks right but from 23in on will be more than enough for excellent performance.
