[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 790576, member: 24685"] Glad you pointed out CASE VOLUME and not CASE LENGTH. Some believe that a "short action" doesn't need a long barrel. However a WSM case would be optimized in 26+ inch barrels. Just remember the further you get away from the chamber the velocity increase will become less and less with each inch added. I'd agree that a 26 inch barrel would be the longest you'd want to go before the gains in velocity arent worth the added length and weight. [/QUOTE]
