[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 937679, member: 6452"] I was in Arroyo Grande 3 days ago. Had some clam chowder at the Splash Cafe in Pismo then an ice cream at Doc Burnstein's (used to be Burnardos). Growing up in NorCal and my grandparents living in SoCal we used to meet half way every year and celebrate Thanksgiving at Lopez Lake. Love that area of the state but it sure isn't anything like it used to be. I don't have QuickLoad. Could someone tell me what the burn percentage would be for a .308 Win with a 20" vs 24" tube using 44.5 grains of Varget under a 150 or 168 grain bullet? Sooner or later I'm just going to chop the barrel down just want all the facts before I do. I'd hate to cut it and then be mad at myself for buying 8lbs. of Varget that might not be ideal for a 20" tube. Wondering if perhaps the lighter powder charges associated with a heavier bullet might be better suited for shorter tubes? In other words 42 grains under a 180 vs 45 under a 150 might have a better chance of full burn in the shorter tube. Thanks [/QUOTE]
