Threading and chopping a barrel?

[golfer]

Gun is 300wsm r700 with sporter barrel. Took it to smith to thread barrel for a can. Will need a shoulder/collar according to the gun smith. Question is for those that have chopped a barrel what are pros and cons. Can length is 6”.

Lower velo, better form. Bout it in my experience.

Rifle will handle much better.

My rifles have all been bobtailed to 18” or less. Now all are the same length (or shorter) than they were coming out of the factory with the can on.

You will loose 25 - 35 fps of muzzle velocity per inch you loose.
