[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1833829, member: 11960"] I wouldn't count on the load that was most accurate in the long barrel still being the most accurate in the short barrel. You might get lucky though! I've had good luck with the same load in the 6mm BR in 26" and 30" rifles as well as an 18" specialty pistol; 30.3gr of Varget and a 105 Berger shoots well in every 6mm BR LOL. I know there are a lot of "go-to" loads that work in the 308 too. Don't worry about going to a faster powder just because you're using a shorter barrel. I've done a lot of shooting with various long and short barrel guns in the same chamberings and the powder that gives the highest velocity in a long barrel still gives the highest velocity in a short barrel. This has held true for cases burning anywhere from 25gr of powder up through 145gr of powder. That doesn't mean that it will still be the most accurate though. [/QUOTE]
