[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2970107, member: 15054"] I purchased a savage .308 10FP heavy barrel.. .880" at the muzzle end at 24" barrel length. Friend that shoots and builds all kinds of guns told me 18" or 20" is whet they cut all their .308 barrels to. I was old school thinking.. he stated it makes no difference to 800 yards.. in fact the shorter barrel is more accurate to 800. I called BS until I cut my own barrel to 20.5".. my accuracy greatly improved..I recently purchased a savage with 18" threaded barrel. It shoots better with only 4 loads tried in it than my 24" did with 3 years of trying different loads..3 Years!!! When I finally cut it short it was not as finicky. [/QUOTE]
