This obviously depends on which length of barrel you are using now and if your pitch tend to be sharp or flat.

I' ve been using these P&S barrels now for sometime with a lot of success. I think it is best to buy one that is slightly shorter than you current barrel, may 1mm shorter for example, so you have the flexibility to adjust to situations where you are either sharp or flat to others around you. It all depends of course on whether your whole current setup plays a little sharp or flat in general.

That sounds like a good advice. What is the range (in mm) between the shortest and longest position?
