[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2056456, member: 103947"] I'll say I did that barrel length test with a .308 years ago. Started at 26". Ended up at 22". The difference was more significant using RL15 and shooting 185s than with Varget using 150s. I use the 150-168s much more today and for a closer range deer rifle so decided to chop it down to 22". Much has to do with powder and bullet weight choice. In your case, the 120 in the 6.5 CM seems pretty unaffected by the barrel shortening. [/QUOTE]
