[QUOTE="liltank, post: 331233, member: 13275"] There is a trade off at some point of length. Dan Lilja did a study starting with a 46" barrel and cut it down 1" for a series of tests. He was using the 338-378 and found that the big 338's enjoy a length of 30 to 36or 38" if memory serves correctly. I know it is not a 338WM, but it still has some viable information.
