[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 263921, member: 14209"] A 20" bbl would be Ok, but the velocity sacrifice may be too large, especially if you are using it for deer at 600yds. Would it have enough energy (due to lost velocity) when it gets there. There is no question as to the accuracy. But retained energy is another matter. For the extra 2-4 " and the little amount of weight saved by going with a shorter bbl, could mean as much as 350FPS (in the same load) and lost energy as well. 24" might be too much for you, but 22" would be my minium for any rifle bbl. Almost all of mine are 26" I don't mind the extra weight. Dan [/QUOTE]
