[QUOTE="DesertDweller62, post: 2991859, member: 85975"] The availibility and popularity or suppressors is making shorter barrels on centrefire huning rifles popular. A 26 inch barrel with a suppressor on the end makes it very unhandy, espically in the woods or in brush. Also, the use of turrets on riflescopes make having the ultra fastest velocity unnecessary. Just build the veloscity into your ballistic app and don't worry about stretched string trajectories. High BC bullets also help. A lot has been said on new cartridges that have been introduced. I have a friend who was the manager of the Remington Custom Shop for many years. When the SAUM cartridges came out, I ask him isn't a short action ultra mag a oxymoron? I will never forget his reply... he said, "We don't have any new customers to sell out old stuff to, so we need new stuff to sell to our old customers". There is a lot of truth in his words.
