[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 441968, member: 2736"] [b]Re: 7mm win mag out of a 22" barrel[/b] Unfortunately the velocity will suffer with the short barrel .But it may not hurt depending on what you use it for. The other thing you can do if you just can't stand the looks after you cut it off try a faster burning powder after shooting your loads in it to see if you can minimize the loss. Most of the magnums need at least 24 to 26" barrels. One other option is to have a smith use a safari type site and cover up the holes.(This type of site has a sleeve that solders over the barrel). You may also look at installing a break by threading just enough of the barrel to cover up the damage. Just some thoughts. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
