[QUOTE="tonechaser88, post: 2364948, member: 119065"] This is a worthwhile discussion I think for all the short magnums. I ran a 20” 300 wsm with a brake, I had 212 eldx going 2750 fps. I no longer own that gun but if I had to do it again I would run lighter bullets I think just to tame it down. It was fairly light, I would have never gone without a brake on it. I’m now running a 24” 338 wsm with 230 eldx over 2800 FPS, waiting on my suppressor to get out of jail for it. I also ran a 21” 6.5wsm and a 260 rem on a 19” barrel and I’ve never felt crippled by running a shorter barrel. For me I would stay 19” + on a short magnum just to keep the gun from getting too “jumpy” , in a standard short action case I would go down to a 16” without too much hesitation. [/QUOTE]
