Short barrel 338 SS

[cjholler]

I am thinking of building a 16" or 17" 338 SS right now I have a 20" barrel with a 36M can on it I also have a 46M in lock up waiting to get out. I am trying to talk myself out of building a short barrel most my shots are under 500. With a 20 pipe and bull dozer bullets 200 grain pill I am pushing 2845 fps. My goal is to have a handy rifle package that can still be pushed out to 600 if need be. So I am wondering if anyone else out there is running a suppressed short barrel 338 SS? This bull was shot at 260 yards and only took one step I am confident in my current set up but in the end I think I can still shorten the barrel and still achieve my desired results.

I am now wondering if you ever built this rifle you describe! I'm leaning the same way but thinking 18 is what I want.
