[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2413000, member: 121205"] The requirement for barrel length is cartridge (powder volume) dependant in my experience. .308 case family 20-22" .30-06 case family 24" .375 case family 26" Obviously, there are exceptions. The 350 Remington Magnum is originally based on the traditional belted case, but as a dense cover carbine it appropriately wears an 18.5" barrel on the Remington 600M and in that example the case contains ~55 gr of powder to toss a 250 gr cigar but of a bullet. My nickles worth. Enjoy the hunt and process leading to it. [/QUOTE]
