[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 2365498, member: 21524"] I’ve read that article and it substantiates my point. I could shoot a 16-18” 300 win mag suppressed with all the benefits thereof or I could shoot a 26-28” 30-06. Hands down, I’d choose to buy an extra barrel when I burn out the 300 win. Nobody is talking about shooting 1000 yard benchrest with a suppressor. This is a long range hunting website. The objectives and volumes of fire are totally different. That’s why people run 30” straight 1.25” diameter barrels on .308 so that they can get excellent barrel life and take advantage of the weight. For most people who hunt, a 30” 1.25” barrel is impractical and unwieldy. It’s not relevant to the conversation. If you’d rather shoot a 30-06 with a 26-28” barrel in the wild over an 18-20” suppressed 300 win mag for the sake of barrel life go for it. Even if they were ballistically equivalent one is going to be way more enjoyable to shoot. There’s a ton of people on here who have shared their preference based on experience. Take it for what it’s worth and do whatever floats your boat to achieve whatever you want your rifle to do and whatever shooting experience you want to have. [/QUOTE]
