[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 862096, member: 2736"] [b]Re: .338rum barrel length[/b] Is a 25" barrel to short for a 338 RUM ? No. if you stick to 225s and 250 grain bullets. If you want to shoot 300 grain bullets, 28 to 30" works better. Is it worth the change? only you can make that choice. Look at the ballistics of both at your normal shooting distance and the rounds will tell you what to choose . The 300 is at its best with 180 to 200grain bullets. The 338 will do the same velocity with 225s and 250grain bullets. Again it depends on what you need for the game and distance. Not much help, but something to think about. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
