Light stock heavy barrell?

[Xs24-7]

I have a 25" Mdm Palma barrell on my 6 Creedmoor that I use for deer/coyotes, which sits in an MDT XRS, and weighs in at ~15#.
im considering dropping it into an MDT HNT26 to loose 3#.
Does anyone have experience shooting a heavy barrelled action in a light stock? Any big side effects? I expect it will be muzzle heavy, but will it be terrible to shoot?

It's carrys funny anyway….I should cut it back 5" while I'm at it but it's hard to give up the velocity(I know it will never matter but….)

Not to hijack the thread, but I am interested to know why Americans do not use the correct abbreviations for common weights used?
Pounds= Lbs.
Ounces= Oz.
Kilograms= Kgs.
Grams= Grm.
Is this not used there or taught?

Cheers.

Slang, we aren't very proper over here. As long as we understand each other we don't really care. Lazy? Maybe, mostly just culture

I'm not even an American….We use both #, LB, Kg, etc

As in 'go # sand'?

Or, 'go lb. sand'?.....

I have a rifle that's light stocked & heavier on the barrel end. I would rather it be balanced but I wanted to get some weight off. It's definitely easier to make shots with the muzzle being heavier t& light at the rear of the rifle than it is with a rifle having a light muzzle & heavy rear.


I prefer to use lbs abbreviation but I do understand # when I see it. It used to be more common to use # but now hipsters call it hash tag. I had to ask someone what hash tag meant and they showed me : #. I said oh, the pound symbol.

It is used and taught here in the US.

Well, I ordered the stock….worst case I give the barrel a trim to balance it out.

You should hear our actual verbiage. Kinda caveman like

I have never seen # used as a symbol for pounds other than here.
Had me confused when I first saw it, that's all.
My 7lb 300RUM is getting a facelift, so will be putting a HS Precision Sporter PSS-010.
When I re-barrel down the track, if we ever get out of these lockdowns, I will put a HS Precision PST-026 on it, if I do that now it will look funny with the sporter barrel.

Cheers.

# is literally called the pound sign. Long before it was high jacked as "hashtag" it's been called the pound sign(at least in Canada)
