[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 3021048, member: 67530"] I know a buddy of mine shoots a 28 Nosler with a 24" barrel, mine is 26", our loads are nearly identical if not the same, and velo is hardly different. I cannot recall off the top of my head the difference between the two, but he has no more problem banging steel at 1000 yards than I do, and on good days with little to no wind it is really not hard to do. We have both taken game at some extreme ranges, and I have not missed an animal I shot at, at those ranges. I am very particular with taking long range shots at game, when it is windy, I just don't shoot. I don't hunt with my buddy, he has permission where I don't and vice versa, so I cannot speak of him missing. I know he did miss a doe or two one day because his barrel was touching his side mirror. He was sitting in his truck in Kansas on private property watching a big chunk of ground trying to take does was why he was in the truck. The guy he hunts with is stricter than a game warden so nothing illegal was taking place. It was only after investigation he realized his barrel was touching his mirror, we both know better than that. I won't allow anything to touch my barrel when shooting, not even a finger, barrel harmonics are not voodoo, they're real. I should mention we both shoot suppressed, and I wish my barrel was 24" or shorter as well lol. [/QUOTE]
