[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2489589, member: 67706"] They work well with short and long barrels alike. I know there is a reputable smith/company did a lot of testing on barrel length with the ss line and saw minimal loss/gain of fps/inch of barrel length down to 22" and below that the amount of loss increased more. That said I run a 19.5" 270ss and a 16.5" 6 Dasher and happy with both. The dasher only loses 180-200 fps over my 27" barreled dasher. There hasn't been much testing with the 300 mega other than with 215 Berger and h1000 so far but should have more data coming soon. Don't get hung up on barrel length and just build what suits your purposes. I lugged my original 28" 13 pound 300ss around for 7-8 years as it was my favorite rifle and now it was time for a new build that was lighter and wouldn't be unwieldy now that I have a suppressor.
