I shot a 260 with an 18 inch barrel and a 20 inch barrel at the same range session. The 18" had a lot more "buck and jump" as well as noise vs the 20". The 18 inch was my buddies and mine was the 20" both shooting the same ammo. He noticed it as well, and committed on it as well.
Both were Remington model 7's

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
