Not a fan of longer barrels. Primary use is hunting. Would it be a waste of the extra powder in just a 22" tube? Obviously a 24-26 would be better for velocity's sake.. but would a 22" barrel give a significant enough difference to use the 30-06 over a 308? Anyonw know the numbers on a 22" 06 vs a 20" 308?
 
I have a savage 110 with a 22.5in barrel. I pushed 180 sst at 2775 using hodgen superformance. I could go over 2800 but startedbto show pressure. I used the load on an elk at 350yds.
