[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1966293, member: 60453"] That depends on the barrel. But I still want the extra inches, because I want the impact. Its also why I have a Whelen instead of a 358 Winchester or a 350 Remington Magnum. I'm not after lighter weight, since that means more recoil. I'm after longer range and greater wounding potential. My latest Whelen has a 26 inch barrel and weighs around 9.5 lbs with scope. I have no problem with that, and I have an effective range of over 800 yards with both the 225 and 250 grain loads. If I were hunting in close country, I might like the 20" barrel, just for maneuverability, but most of my hunting is here in Colorado, where my shots might be anywhere from 40 yards to 5 or 6 hundred, with longer shots the norm. I plan for the longer shots, practice for the longer shots and hope for the closer ones. But I want the extra edge and capability I get from that extra velocity. [/QUOTE]
