[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1705238, member: 93138"] This would be a Hunter class rifle build shouldered by someone of petite stature, so 22" is about as long as it's likely to get. Again, just looking at, for instance, Nosler load data, their indicated most accurate load for 7-08 140gr. is 2760 FPS, for .260 140gr. is 2655 FPS, and for 6.5 CM 140gr is 2392 FPS. What complicates things is that their test barrels are 26" (7-08), 24" (.260), & 24" (6.5 CM), so not exactly apples to apples. If you back out some velocity for those extra 2" of 7-08 barrel the .260 is still looking like the better match. Thank you all! [/QUOTE]
