[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1484040, member: 5262"] Nice! I shoot a lot of short barrels. Mostly handguns of some form like the T/C Encore, and Remington XP-100. Short barrels do very well with regards to velocity and accuracy. Even using slow burning powders. I have a 30-338WM in a 16.5" bbl (T/C Encore handgun setup) that nets 2846 FPS with Berger 175 VLDH bullets and does so with 1/2 MOA accuracy. I've had 30-06AI, 30-06 JDJ, 30-280AI, 307 Win Improved, and 308W barrels, most being 15" lengths. Even the 308W would push 180's at 2422 FPS from a 15" tube. The 30-280AI and 30-06 JDJ would do 2700-2750 fps with 165/168's. So, what I'm trying to say in a round about way is, I like the idea of the 18" bbl 30-06. :) [/QUOTE]
