[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1480665, member: 5262"] I have shot short barrels almost exclusively for 30+ years. These short barrels have been in the form of T/C Contender, Encore and Remington XP-100 gun’s. My longest barrel of these type guns is my 7 RSAUM bbl at 17.5”. I also have a 16.5” 30-338WM. Chambering shave included 308W, 7-30 Waters, 7BR, 280 AI, 284W, 30-06 JDJ, 30-06AI, 30-280AI, 7RM, 307 Improved, to name a few. In every case () the larger case capacity always produced more velocity and did so with excellent accuracy. So, my point is this: don’t choose a smaller case just because the barrel is short. Choose a case that gets you what you want in terms of ballistics. There are guys doing the 7 Dakota and 28 Nosler on short (18”) barrels in XP-100’s that are beating my 7 RSAUM XP-100 in velocity, and doing so with excellent accuracy. [/QUOTE]
