[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 2962143, member: 84845"] I have a 300WSM that came with a 26" factory threaded barrel. Not exactly sure on velocity with the 26", but I think I was getting 2950 with the 175 grain LRX. 26" with suppressor is a bit awkward so I recently chopped it to 23" and threaded it. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison because I also switched to ADG brass and worked up the load again but getting 2850 with the 175 LRX and H4350. It's a slower than I'd like, but higher charge weights start to show pressure signs. I'm sure with other powders I could get more velocity but I have a lot of that powder. So personally I'd leave it longer...22ish? My suppressor is 6". I have a 20" rifle in a 6.8 Western and it's nice and handy with the suppressor but I'd prefer it to be 22 just a bit more velocity.
