• 519 | Short Barrel Speeds & Effective Range for Big Game Hunting Rifles

  How short is too short when it comes to choosing a barrel length for hunting? Whether you are interested in a shorter barrel for your next hunting rifle because you plan to add a suppressor, because you want to save weight, or simply because you want an easy-handling, easy-packing rifle — the fact is that short barrels are viable with today’s highly efficient bullets, laser rangefinders, and scopes that precisely and reliably dial to accommodate for drop at distance. In this podcast you will learn how to estimate velocity and effective range when considering which barrel length to choose for your next hunting rifle.
