[QUOTE="s3silver, post: 2733363, member: 125260"] It would help to know if you’re asking about handiness or difference in velocity. For field handiness shorter will usually be more easy to handle in the field. For velocity, the cartridge will play a role in the fps change. For example, a 308 will not have significant velocity change from a 20” and 24” barrel. Generally, smaller bore diameter cartridges perform better with slower powders and longer barrels. For your 6.5 creed you will probably be fine with a 21” barrel. [/QUOTE]
