[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1944777, member: 31749"] Just do the math, 215gr Hybrid @2900fps at sea level lands at 1000yds with almost 1400ft lbs of energy... yeah, that's probably enough. To the OP... I'd say 20-22" if you are planning on running a Suppressor, 22-26" if not; go with 22" if you are going to be hiking with it or carrying in brush. People like to get carried away with details that dont matter much beyond bench racing stats... in practical terms giving up 3-4" of barrel really only leaves about 150 fps on the table. That's not really that much when we are talking about real world situations... probably amounts to about 1-2% higher hit probability if you are uncertain on your wind calls and maybe adds 100yds to your absolute max effective range. If you are aiming for 1000 and in, it doesnt matter. [/QUOTE]
