[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 2098577, member: 24854"] Interesting. I’m very surprised that the entire charge is consumed in that short of barrel length. it makes me wonder at what point on any given rifle how much unnecessary barrel I’m carrying around. 20 + years ago when I bought my first can I bought a Savage Tactical in 308 Win and cut the barrel from 24” down to 20” just for harmonics. The gun has always shot lights out. Although I never did shoot it before making it shorter but it does not appear it would have shot any better. After working the load up, it shot a 100 yard 5 shot group that measured .387” [/QUOTE]
