[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1215550, member: 8873"] Trying to get opinions and possible experiences with a short barrel .338. I have a 26" .338 RUM for a more carry friendly rifle. I also have a suppressor that I can use on it, but obviously that makes it a less ideal for a carry do-all. I was thinking of cutting the barrel back to about 22" to make it more friendly with the suppressor. I already have a load that throws 300 grain projos a little over 2800 fps. I suspect about 100 fps loss...what say you? Worth it? Or just leave the suppressor off (rather not, I would like to make good on the expense and it shoots tighter groups with it on). This will be my primary hunting rifle; deer and elk to 800-1000 yards depending on performance. Also thinking about trying the 250 Bergers. For really long ranges I have a 30" barreled .338 Edge and .408 so I have that covered. [/QUOTE]
