[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 3058246, member: 5262"] I do a lot of short barrels because I prefer to hunt with "Specialty Pistols" and I have gone as big as 30 Nosler in case size. I've done two 30 Nosler XP-100's, one with a 18.5" barrel, the other with a 19" barrel. I also currently have a 7mm RSAUM with a 17.5" barrel. I get excellent performance from all of them, and don't give up much in the way of velocity. Based on my calculations, I'm losing ~ 8%-9% velocity with the shorter barrels. Now, in my rifles, I prefer longer barrels, with 27", 26" and even 24" being what I run. [/QUOTE]
