[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1523420, member: 11960"] The only thing you give up with a 24” barrel is about 50-75fps. Just go with the the barrel length that works best for your style of hunting and be happy. FWIW, I had an 18” (including the brake) 300 RUM specialty pistol that worked really well for me. I think I was shooting the 168 gr TTSX at about 3200 fps with a moderate charge of IMR 7828. Folks like to get hung up on powder burn efficiently or extra muzzle blast from short barrels but it’s really not a significant issue. There are a lot of people shooting specialty pistols with barrels in the 18” range chambered for rounds burning 80+ grains of powder with excellent results. I shoot 140gr of powder out of a 20” barreled 338 SnipeTac specialty pistol and the muzzle flash is no worse than a 26” 300 Win Mag. [/QUOTE]
