[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 285978, member: 8839"] Call it what you want, but it is what it is. As stated for the slower powders and heavier bullets you will want / need the longer barrel. With the shorter barrel and 4350 you will cut the cal. short. The 300 Win is well suited for heavier bullets and slower powders as long as the barrel is at least 26" and as stated the heavier the bullet and slower the powder you will want even more barrel. Even with the lighter bullet such as the 165 NBT Dirty old R-22 kicks ***. I used this combo as a mid range rifle in a 26" Sendero. max load of R-22 165 NBT @ 3380 FPS IMR 4350 with a 165 was super accurate but only ran 3000 FPS. out of mine. If I had to go 22" I would go with a 300WSM most often they shoot good with 4350 from 165'S on up. [/QUOTE]
