[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2626731, member: 21446"] Go for it. You will lose 100-125 fps over a 26” but will still be able to shoot 133-135 bergers at 3225-3275fps with top end loads. As a hunting rifle it will be much handier and at those speeds still very potent at 1000 yards for deer sized game or shooting steel, and super sonic out past a mile. I run quite a few short barreled hunting rigs from 16-22” and have no regrets. Also have rifles with 26-32” barrels for LR/ELR that are mostly shot prone and not carried far. For my 25cal magnum I just decided im going to build 2 rifles, one heavy with a 26” barrel and one light with a 20” barrel. [/QUOTE]
