[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 1952718, member: 93281"] If you are looking for a rifle w a short barrel you are waisting powder with the 270 and 6.5 PRC... go with a 6.5 cm in a 20” barrel or a 308 down to 16”... if you go to 16” you may be stuck w 168s due to velocity. If it were me I would go with a 20” barrel in 308 and the ELDX 178s. my JP LRP07 16” barrel gets 2450 FPS with 168s... I have killed mule Deer and cow elk just under 500 Yards and they drop like a rock. [/QUOTE]
