so THIS right here is the balancing act....its the same argument/discussion/equasion as fast twist Vs std twist...... you CANT have cake and eat it too.
you cant have slow twist and run heavy projectiles
you cant have short barrel and get top velocities------within reason
you cant shoot bigger animals with light projectile at distance---within reason

my take on it...its a balancing act,you NEED to work out end goal and work backwards from there.
really short is neat to carry...but you trade some velocity,and ears closer to muzzle so need suppressed.
fast twist allows heavier projectiles upping preformance so to be closer to mighty EBRG in terminal effect...but it costs,isnt on all rifles
you can shoot bigger animals with light projectiles but need to get in closer and pick your shot.
you can add or subtrack suppressor baffles...less is shorter and tiny bit lighter BUT will be louder.....ITS ALL balancing act.
you could shoot red deer fair up the arse dept with your 338 or 45/70 and be confident of killing it quickly...not so much with 223,wouldnt dream of doing so....but the big cannons kick more and are costly to feed by comparison....swings n roundabouts.
