Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why not a short barrel on a DG country rifle?

For what it's worth, I get 2850 fps with a 225 Accubond out of my 338 with a 22" barrel. I never chronographed it when it was 24".

For where I hunt 20-22" seems to be just right for me. Thick timber with mixed clear cuts. Shots can be 10yds to 400.
