[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1476924, member: 27307"] Most of the rifles built for this cartridge and others having 100+ grains of capacity usually wind up with 26" to 30" barrels. And there's a good reason for this; it usually takes a longer barrels to get all that powder burned IN the barrel where it does you some good. But given the desires for hunting with suppressors, shorter barrels can be the best requirement for some degree of convenience. The work I've done is usually with 26" and longer barrels using loads in the 3100+ range and the 215 Bergers. So lopping off 4 to 6 inches will result in somewhere around 150 to 200 fps less velocity. Retumbo is my powder of choice when running shorter than average barrels. It should all burn in a 22" barrel. Regards. [/QUOTE]
