[QUOTE="Jerry D, post: 2388100, member: 14452"] Short barrel will need to watch velocity at impacts. I’d be looking at a 6.5prc with a 20” barrel. I don’t see the point in a barrel shorter than that on a long range hunting rifle when you’ll have so much space to handle it. A bush gun sure. My 6.5cm has a 20” barrel and maintains 1800 FPS to 500 yards. I did a 20” as a bush gun though so in your case. Step up to the 6.5prc and and you’ll gain 1-200 yards of range with good impact velocity. Unfortunately though. I don’t see the point in going with a super short barrel on a long range hunting rig. And urban tactical type rifle. Sure I understand but out in the open fields and tree lines. I don’t think going to a 20-24” barrel will ever cause a problem l. [/QUOTE]
