Talk me out of a 20 inch 300 Winchester magnum… or not.

[QUOTE="TAZMAN, post: 1989037, member: 1708"] I built a 18 inch 6.5 Creedmoor from a Remington LTR base gun. DMR did the work. I can tell you the short rifles are very handy but they are also very loud. The muzzle blast is noticeable but with a CAN it was not bad. There is a difference in the carbon contamination in the suppressor though. I actually sold the gun and just shoot my 20 inch without a CAN. I also have a 22 inch 30-06 that is about perfect as a all around rifle. These were all proof sendero barrels. My 6.5 PRC is also a 20 inch large diameter proof barrel. It was a special run and looks awesome. With RL26 and a magnum primer you can get velocity but my experience has been the 18 inch barrels seem to be the edge of the complete burn on a lot of powders I tried. I now use 20 inch as my lower limit. Just my experience for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
