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

[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1989278, member: 11960"] I think you’ve got a great plan, I happen to be partial to very short barrels though. I think your choice of the 300 Win mag is perfect, with the one caveat that I’d want to be able to use at least a 3.600” OAL. That would give you some great options for factory loaded ammo. I’m not a suppressor guy, but make sure that yours is rated for a 20” 300 Win Mag. Every time the discussion of short barreled magnums gets brought up you’ll hear the same comments about unburned powder, muzzle blast and horrific fireballs at the muzzle. I’d just suggest that you look to the specialty pistol community for their experience on the subject. It’s not uncommon to run chamberings with similar case capacities (or greater) than the Win Mag in barrels from 16-19” with excellent results in specialty pistols. [/QUOTE]
