[QUOTE="snox801, post: 3034676, member: 54383"] Cody is spot on. Plus I love his build. I will add that the bullet weight will also matter a bit. Big heavier bullets need slower powders that also need length. I think you would be happy around 22” barrel I have one ultra light rifle with that and a can. Seems perfect to me. 20” would be great but I didn’t wanna give up more fps. I was launching the 214 hammers out of my 30 Sherman at 3160fps so you should be able to stay above 3k with a shorter barrel. I just ordered some of the hammer hht 203gr to try and pick up some speed and they have a lower min velocity than the hunters. But I think you are on the right track. I personally wouldn’t go shorter than 20. But I wouldn’t turn my nose at a 16-18” either they have a benefit for sure. [/QUOTE]
