[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2866171, member: 116181"] I hunt with two 30" barrels 😂 30 Sherman and 30-338 LIMP. Carbon fiber is a lot nicer than carrying a 30" MTU. There's really no reason to not to where I am. There's not a tree high enough to snag a barrel on for about fifty miles in any direction. Who says you lose velocity over 30"? My 36" barrel says otherwise. I do, a 36". It's big too, 1.350" shank, 308 cal. But this is the serious answer. Bigger cases run fine in short barrels. Maybe they aren't absolutely perfectly optimized to eek out every single last FPS possible, but it's not hard to match case capacities to velocity goals even in short tubes. 3k+ FPS from a 308 cal cartridge will work fine, all the time - be that 20" 300 NMI, 22" 300 RUM, my stupid wildcat, or a 308 WIN with a 12' barrel. 😂 [/QUOTE]
