[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2384137, member: 46202"] I don't think you're going wrong. 23" barrel is fine, I run a .338 norms Ackley improved in a 22" barrel. Your issue with heavy bullets will be magazine restrictions if you are running mags. You may want to run some ballistic simulations and look at terminal ballistics of velocity loss from running the heavies versus medium weight bullet.. lighter the bullet the faster she flies and the kinetic energy might be better for closer range shots, but you will want a bullet that doesn't fragment under certain velocities. My Warbird can shoot 150 gr bullets 3700 fps.. issues is the bullets blow up and I don't get the penetration on game especially for an animal that will fight back. So run 212-215 bullets at 3170.. Anyways do some leg work, pick a bullets and go from there. 23" is fine you will just lose 25 fps per inch give or take [/QUOTE]
