[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2637874, member: 26077"] Before you bandy about people posting misinformed opinion might I suggest you actually look at a loading manual. Almost all list 2506 at 24" and 257 Bee at 26" Despite that, and with burning 15 to 20 percent more powder, the Bee has between 100 and 150 fps advantage over the 2506. Cutting a 2506 by 2 inches to 22" while cutting the 257 4 inches means there will be very little real world velocity difference between the two at the shorter length. The 2506 is already a lot overbore, the 257 is even more overbore, so both will have significant muzzle blast and it gets worse the shorter you make them. If I wanted a 20 or 22" quarter bore I would build a 25 284. Way less powder than either, less muzzle blast, easier to suppress, same speed as the 2506, light recoil and fits on a short action.
