[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 245141, member: 12863"] Barrel length equals speed. Optimum length is dependant upon what is acceptable for the application. My application requires walking through a lot of big bear country to gain access to elevated country for sheep,goat and deer. My 17" barreled 338 with 180grain Accubonds is a minimum cartridge for me. Up close and personal it will take the fight out of anything up close and personal. Hammers anything needed to 400 yards with more authority than needed. 17" 2840. 24" rifle barrel 3100fps. 160 grain T TSX at 3000fps from the 17" barrel is somewhat light for a 1200 pound bear and though it will probably do in a pich I feel more comforatble with the 180gr in a pinch.
