[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 606834, member: 2693"] Well, I don't really like heavy rifles. I don't find any joy in carrying them. So, if it were me and you went with a heavier contour bbl, I'd cut it to 20" and you nor any animal you shoot with a well placed bullet will know any difference compared to a longer bbl. That said, I prefer a 24" on most of my 270s and one has a 25.5" bbl. But my contours are #3 and #1. To specifically answer your question, you will lose velocity, and gain a bit of volume on muzzle blast with a 20" tube. [/QUOTE]
