[QUOTE="downandlow, post: 3098317, member: 128291"] Always the short vs long debate. Not really a debate as they are different animals. Shortmags can be housed in lighter shorter handier rifles and give better overall ballistics than long mags. They lose less velocity in shorter barrels than long mags.Their design by nature lends itself to better accuracy over a long belted mag. Also less recoil if put in a same weight rifle as a long mag. Long mags you should be able to squeeze out more velocity in a properly barreled rifle than a short mag. For me, the short mag wins out because an extra 100 fps isnt worth the extra overall rifle length with added bonus of less recoil. [/QUOTE]
