[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1937840, member: 91995"] Is there an optimum barrel length for a 6.5 CM when running with a can? I have the rifle but I want to get a can for it and am thinking I would like to shorten the barrel some as it is currently 25" w/medium palma contour with another 2.5" for the break. I'm thinking a 31-32" barrel (with can mounted) might be a bit unwieldy. I understand I will be giving up some velocity but I've read were some cartridges have a "preferred or optimum" length. Or should I just leave it alone and deal with the extra length and weight? If it matters, I load Hornady 147 ELD-M's in front of RS Hunter and RE26. [/QUOTE]
