[QUOTE="southpa, post: 3058627, member: 65823"] A 28 Noz ran hot ain't getting good barrel life no matter what, doesn't matter what length the barrel is. Or how bout a 7-300NMI? Is that getting good barrel life because its ran woth a 32" pipe? As stated before, you do you. That's what's awesome about this country. I'm not quite convinced a 7-300NMI "long term accuracy trumps it's barrel life". Barrels are replaceable and I don't personally build a hot rod to run in the carpool lane. I'm not advocating more powder over barrel life. I'm simply stating that if you want a short barrel than pick the appropriate cartridge to get the bullet you want to perform the way you want it too. Two things can be true at once, I certainly wouldn't neuter myself to a 6.5CM or 22-250 in a short barrel because they use the only powder with a specific burn rate to be the most efficient in that category. If that's what you feel is the way to go than Absolutely stick to it. But if you like bigger bullets and shorter barrels than im here to tell you, whatever gives the best speeds and accuracy in long barrels is more than likely gonna give the best speeds ans accuracy in shorter with the same chambering.
