[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1483284, member: 4191"] In a packing weight rifle, 375 good to ~500yd. 338 good to 900yd. If you want your packing weight rifle for LRH, I'd lean toward 338 also. This loose rule of thumb can, of course, be argued and debated to no end. yorke-1 shoots 140gr powder charges from both 18-20" barrels and 30" barrels. If he says trim your Lapua barrel back to 20" - no big deal - then you won't get better insight from any other member. If your existing barrel is a confirmed shooter, cut it back until there's enough meat to thread it for your suppressor, and run it full throttle. Avoid the risk/expense of gambling on a new barrel's accuracy. PM yorke-1 for the skinny on short barrel performance from your Lapua 338 capacity cartridge. [/QUOTE]
