[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1457031, member: 27307"] Your greatest loss will be velocity from short barrels and an increase in muzzle flash. Hunting in daylight won't be a problem but dawn and dusk might wake your eyeballs up just a tad...;) There are a few powders suited to your shorter barrel and will still accommodate both heavy and some of the lighter bullets. I've reloaded with Norma 217, Re-25, Hodgdon Retumbo and H-1000 with fine results with Berger 215 Hybrids and the Berger 185 Hunter. The Nosler 180 AccuBond works as well as the Barnes 180 TTSX. The lightest I've shot is the Berger 175 Hunter VLD. All have shot good groups in custom rifles, no guarantees with factory rifles. With 22" barrels you can consider getting a .30 caliber suppressor in one of the shorter versions which will make a world of difference when hunting. Regards. [/QUOTE]
