[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1101120"] Y'all didn't say what cartridge you are using. Some are more short barrel friendly than others. It's easy to understand, the more overbore the longer the barrel recommended. Example, something like a 308 is fine even with a 16 inch barrel. 20 inches is probably more practical. A 300 RUM looses a lot for everything under 26 inches. 30 and more is not out of line. Your gunsmith will probably have an opinion. Take everything with a grain of salt and go for what you want based on your use. [/QUOTE]
