[QUOTE="Rinky, post: 1524050, member: 67033"] Looks like a good plan to me. Youre essentially building a 26" 30-06 (slightly more energy) but with a much shorter over all rifle length. I did the same thing with my 7mm rem mag. Have a TBAC ultra 9. Chopped my sendero down to 18" because of not being able to get a rifle over 5ft long in and out of a vehicle with any sort of a hurry. In the end, I lost about 300fps with the 180 hybrids which hurt but the handiness of the rifle was back and the shots are still incredibly quiet compared to before.... Ballistically im on par with a hot 308 (wind drift is significantly better however) but being able to road hunt and jump out of the vehicle in a flash on whitetails has been very much worth it. Especially if a shot next to the vehicle happens. I went to the extreme end and lost about 40fps per inch. The 300wm would likely lose about as much. I plan to step down to the 162 ELDX once i get a load dialed in. Factory 162 ELDx ammo has shown promise too. Velocity will get better but energy will stay about the same. I have around 900lbs of energy at 1k. Good enough! Heres a pic of it. It gets the job done.[ATTACH=full]113307[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
