[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2584704, member: 101262"] Looking to get a barrel for my origin for lightweight backpack hunting. I’m going to do a steel barrel in a pretty light countour and will be either doing a 18” or maybe a 16.5”. My debate is this. Should I do a 6.5 prc and shoot a 130 grain. I believe I’d get around 2800-2850. Or should I do a 7 saum and shoot a 150 gr. getting similar velocities hopefully. Both the bc’s of these weight ranges with similar bullets will be close to the same around the .550 range. My targets will be deer, elk, black bear and some steel. I will keep the hunting ranges to around 600 yards. What’s everyone’s thoughts on cartridge and barrel length? Any input from this with a short barrel would be much appreciated! Thx I do have brass and supplies for both cartridges currently. [/QUOTE]
