[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1887022, member: 73596"] Honestly, I think there are better cartridges for what you are wanting to achieve I would look into some short action cartridges. By the time you cut a 7mm RM barrel down to 20" you down into a 7mm -08 range of velocity. And you won't be throwing nearly as large of a ring of fire out the end of the barrel. Even 308 wouldn't be a bad choice in that barrel length. My 20" 308 barrel (suppressed) shoots 155 class bullets at 2800 FPS, and I'm guessing 130-140 class bullets out of a 7mm-08 with 20" tube would still be going 2900 or better. Most of those big magnums need longer barrels to burn all of the powder and accelerate the bullet to its full potential. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
