[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1768822, member: 5219"] You can minimize your velocity loss by using the heaviest bullets for caliber. Also use same powders that you would use for a longer barrel. Ross Seyfried did an article on that years ago. If you want that 270 WSM shorter do it! The performance might surprise you. While it doesn't exactly address your question it illustrates the point. I have a 23" 300 RUM which was a 24" 300 win mag takeoff I setback and rechambered myself. Was able to get 2950 fps with the 230 Berger using RL-33. [/QUOTE]
