Thread: 15 inch 243.

Will this still have decent range with factory ammo. Only usually shooting to 250-300m max. Interested to hear peoples thoughts and experience.

Cheers

You will be burning a lot of powder ($) for not much gain.

if you believe the box you get 3100 FPS from a 95 grain deer load from a 24" barrel.

a 20" barrel is better. If you want as short as possible go for a larger bore
