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

[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 1989130, member: 115070"] I did a .300 Win Mag build with a 22" barrel and I shoot it with a 5" suppressor. There might be better caliber options, but my builder specialized in the .300 WM and I wanted to stay short for the same reasons as you. I think 20" is a little too short maybe. When this gun gets re-barreled I'll probably go with a 24". I'm getting about 2800 fps with 190 HVLDs and it's OK out to 1000 yards with a 25 MOA drop and 1640 fps and 1140 ft-pounds at that range. If I remember, I'll post a photo when I get home later today. It's unbelievably fun to shoot. Very mild recoil (about like a .260) and easy, easy on the ears. Oh, two mule deer (520 and 540 yds) and one elk at 200 yards haven't complained. [/QUOTE]
