[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1569495, member: 100006"] That is sage advice sir. Like many on this thread and others have said, most animals are shot at or within 400 yards and at most the average longest kills are around that 600 yard mark. In reality I could get away with a 20 inch barrel in a 280 Ackley and maybe I'll compromise my 24 inch for a 22 inch but like you said I need to figure that out myself. Question for you with a shorter barrel, assuming you reload. With a shorter barrel, do you then select a powder from the reloading manual with a faster burn rate than you would a with a 4 inch longer barrel? That is probably a splitting hairs kind of question but i figured it's worth asking. [/QUOTE]
