[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1679909, member: 75779"] Shot distance will play a role as well. There's no doubt shorter barrels are handier. They are also slower. BUT if you're shooting 500 or less, the loss of fps is a non factor. If you want full potential out of a 300 wm or the like, 26" or more is the way to go. I'd be more concerned about the chamber throating and coal limitations. These will affect your bullet options. If I were in your shoes, I'd take a hard look at the 30 nosler with the corrected freebore. But I shoot a 300 wm that is super accurate and launches a 215 Berger @2905 fps. Not getting rid of it anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
