[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2106820, member: 26227"] I have a few suggestions I did not see in the list I wondered through. #1, fast twist (1:8") 338 Win Mag use 300 grain slugs. #2, Same fast twist barrel for a 338-300 Win Mag for a bit more powder capacity and maybe a little bit better velocity out of the 18" to 20" barrel. The most practical is below #3, 18" to 20" rifle chambered in a 325 WSM, shoot the 220 grain slugs. This would be a short stubby magnum case that makes 80% to 95% burn from a 24" barrel with most powders and would not suffer much from an 18 to 20" barrel. maximum FPS loss is under 200 FPS from a 18" barrel.
