[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4285650, member: 15054"] I have done that a few times and it has helped but never as much as shorter with the same cut crown. My 6.5 CM was the worst with the 22" barrel. One day it shot great and then let the temps change and it shot horrible. I cut it shorter 2 times and now it is at 19" and holds good. I had issues with my 30-06 not shooting boat tailed bullets worth a darn. Flat base bullets no issues. I touched up the crown just a little and it now shot the boat tailed bullets very well. I have not cut the 30-06 22" down but I did get another 30-06 22" and have thought about it. You know a short 30-06 would be a loud one. [/QUOTE]
