GeauxTide, what's your reasoning behind this comment: Don't go past 22". This cartridge has a great bore/capacity ratio, so you'll get max velocity with the 22"
If I read that right he is suggesing not going SHORTER than 22".


Shooting at 1,000 yards was not mentioned in the OP. At that range the extra barrel length is helpful. For a general purpose hunting rifle shot at closer ranges, say 400 or less then a shorter barrel is much less of a handicap. My original advice was with that use in mind.
