A 20” barrel on a .338 Lapua?!

No way they stabilize a 250 grain bullet with a 20”

Fail

Agreed that you loose too much velocity from a short barrel, but a 2) inch 338 indeed stabilizes a 250 or even a 300 grain VLD. Stability is a function of the bullets length, the twist rate and muzzle velocity.
