Federal law sets the minimum barrel length for a rifle at 16".

SO, you can legally go that short (if your state law allows it as well) but in .300 Win mag, its a barking stupid idea which wastes a huge part of the round's potential, and wastes a bunch of your money every time you pull the trigger.
