Considering chopping my .243 barrel from 26' to 20 or 22'
My main match rifle is a 6.5x47 and the .243 is typically a range/steel toy that's occasionally used for shorter PRS style matches and hunting.
Currently I'm easily pushing 105 hybrids to 3100fps using H1000- wondering where I'll land with a 20' bbl - I expect I'll have to switch to 4350 but barrel life isn't a concern as I'll be rebelling to 6.5x47 when this one is toast.
Enlighten me
