[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1961884, member: 107749"] I've tried short barrels and love the handy lengths for the field....but I dont think high velocity is going to happen. My 18" 260 never passed 2600 with 140s and they were pretty hot loads. At 2565 I figured I may as well be shooting a grendel. So I did. It's a great round at the ranges you're talking. If you need more horse power a .308 makes sense. With a suppressor the magnums dont make sense in a short barrel. You'll be in the velocity ranges of non-magnums with 40% more powder. In these days of powder shortages you're trading 2 for 1. Someone pointed out to make sure your can is rated for that. [/QUOTE]
