The cutting and crowning work will likely be a gunsmith affair.
I am going to see if I can sweet talk a a bulk rate deal of the gun plumber.

C'mon HBB, you scared to take a hacksaw after it?

I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

As mechanically challenged as I am I shudder to think about the damage I could do with a hacksaw

I've owned several 22" barreled magnum rifles and there isn't enough difference in the ballistics to ever notice in the field--and they have all still produced "magnum" ballistics. Very true and yet many will Improve a 280 Rem case, increase their pressures to over 65k, and go to a longer barrel to "TRY" and mimic a 7mm Rem mag. 7mm Rem Mag with a 22" barrel. VS 280 Imp with a 24" or 26" barrel. Seems the increase in hull size is the most easy way to go. Ackley fans always come up short on that deal.

Seems going to an IMPROVED case in an increase in hull size.

It's also that it's taking the weight off where it's really noticeable. I just took 3" off my formerly 26" .338 WM. The difference in handling borders on astounding. It was snout-heavy before, and at least for myself, a 26" tube in the woods kinda sucks. Anyway now it balances much better and just from a couple walks I've taken with it in my woods it's much easier to maneuver around.
The CENTER will hold.

Good to hear that you're liking the cut, thinking it'll still be a rock star when it comes to shooting and may well be better!
23" has been very good to me with a lot of rounds.

Yep, it kinda goes back to basic gradeschool where we first learned about simple machines. Adding or removing a bit of weight from the extreme ends of the rifle has maximum effect on handling characteristics. A quick rifle can be turned into a slug, or a slug can be turned into a quick rifle. It's not just the raw weight alone, but it is where that weight is placed or where that weight is removed, in relation to the rifle's center balance, that can have a big effect on overall dynamics.
