[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1931595, member: 102560"] The best from the shortest in a SAMMI is a 338 RCM I have one with a 19 in barrel and I basically get 25 odd feet less per second that a friend that has a 22 in-barrel on his. It loves 200, 225, 230grain bullets and will tolerate 250s. When you get into the mono bullets of 225 and larger though it starts eating your powder space. My next 338 RCM will be a Tikka on a 20 carbon fiber barrel with a CF EH1 style stock maybe JCS. I might even do a custom reamer to take advantage of the greater space in the Tikka. If you want a real hoss and do a long action go with a 33 Nosler. I had one but put a 26 in barrel on it. If I did it again I'd have went 22 or 24. [/QUOTE]
