[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2481226, member: 122313"] If you were going to swap barrels from 300wm to a shorter threaded 300wm.....why not just have the new barrel chambered in 300wsm. It's on a tikka action right? I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the tikka 300wsm and 300wm are the same length of action with different bolt stops. You are gonna be down in 30-06 territory with a 20" 300wm but will be in a pretty happy place with a 300wsm at 20". You won't be setting any speed records with a 20" 300wm "not that you intended to or care to be" but with a short 300wsm you are not leaving as much speed on the table. I hunt with a guy who has a 18" 300wm in a ruger American. He loves the abomination and shoots it with a hyperion can 100% of the time. It's still very loud and recoils A LOT but he likes it. That rifle has a 1-8x lpvo if that tells you kinda what he uses it for. It's got "bacon blaster" wrote on the side with a paint marker lol [/QUOTE]
