[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2879030, member: 27307"] It depends on your bullet and powder combination, obviously. There are several variations which will perform well and get all the powder burned in a shorter barrel. Example: I was asked to build a 33 Nosler in a 22" barrel using the 225 Badlands Super BD2. He wanted the ability to shoot it with and without the suppressor. This was a stellar combination with Re-17 powder but using a 3.600" chamber. We tested this combination at 300 yards with a 1-1/4" average for 3-3shot groups. Hodgdon Hybrid 100V worked well except for a little loss in velocity, cooler burning powder. VVN-555 is just as good but a little harder to find sometimes. Good middle velocities being slightly cooler burning than the Re17. We used Peterson brass, won't tolerate Nosler. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
