[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 809105, member: 22069"] I really think you are going the wrong direction here. As a general rule, the larger bores tend to lose less velocity in shorter barrels than smaller bores of the same case capacity. As the bore becomes smaller, slower burning powders are required, which in turn necessitates longer barrels for optimum performance. If you want a short barrel, go with the .308. If you want a .260, go with a 24-26" barrel. [/QUOTE]
