[QUOTE="liltank, post: 366608, member: 13275"] 26" minimum, but longer would be better to take full advantage of the case capacity and burn rates. Ideally the 338 Norma would be the better option for barrels 23.5" to 25" inches. At least that is what the tester of the 338 Norma suggested. In my opinion, the longer barrels are better suited for large powder capacity rifles (338-378 Weaterby, 338 RUM, 338 Lapua, 338 AX, cartridges of that nature). This is a good read and should put into perspective ideal lengths for chosen 338 calibers. Dan Lilja being a barrel maker, did his homework.
