    The shorter you go the larger the holes in the Barrel. But note recoil and noise increase. 308 Family case size , 30, 338, 358 will all make Big holes and the best use of a short barrel. of course...

    mimms2 liked post by ZQLewis On thread : How does this fit In with the range of calibers
    well you got to keep the 22RF. Then the Hornet has to stay now that we have LiL-Gun. Hence the 223 Has to go. Now 243 vs 6.5x55 us 6.5-06. The 6.5 06 is odd, if its a good range rifle Keep it else...
