[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2559560, member: 27307"] Respectfully, a different cartridge is not going to help with your situation. As stated above you will need a good rangefinder or a better scope with range finding capabilities. This includes accurate turret corrections. Second, you will need to expend more time practicing with that rangefinder and scope in conjunction with your load development. Practice from field positions not from a bench. Be sure to choose the appropriate bullet suited to the game you wish to harvest. After all the expense and practice, it would be a shame to have a bullet failure. Short barrels can be advantageous when matched to an appropriate cartridge, bullet and powder. I've been using a 20", .300 WSM with my suppressor for the last few months without recording any drawbacks other than some loss of velocity. I have been competing with a 21", 6.5 GAP 4S (6.5 SAUM) for several years and recently with a suppressor. Just a little loss of velocity. But I tested a lot before making these decisions. Do your homework then ask any questions you might have. This is a process which will be very beneficial when applied properly. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
