[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2410419, member: 11960"] A 20" barreled 28 Nosler should do anything a 24-26" 7mm SAUM will do, I think it's a great idea. And I'll second everything that Codyadams said. The only sacrifice you make with a short barrel is about 30 fps/inch of barrel. I've had a 14" 300 WSM, 18" 300 RUM, 17" 6.5x338 RUM improved, 18" 338/375 Ruger, a 20" 338 SnipeTac, along with a bunch of more "moderate" chamberings in barrels 20" and shorter. All of them gave the highest velocities from a short barrel using the same powder which gave the highest velocities in a long barrel. That doesn't mean the same powder was the most accurate, but the velocities were highest. The muzzle blast won't be an issue for you since you're shooting suppressed, but a big muzzle brake that close to your face can be a bit intense. That's not necessarily a result of the increased blast caused by the short barrel. It's also because your face is 6-8" closer to the blast. I will admit though that my 338 SnipeTac pistol burning 140gr of H50 BMG with a Terminator T5 brake is pretty abusive! LOL [/QUOTE]
