    308 bushpig advice

    I'm after some advice, im geting a DPT overbarrel suppressor and want to cut my Tikka t3 to 16 inches. Will i be able to run factory ammo through it? Max range I would shoot is 300 to 350 metres. I know ill lose a bit of velocity by cutting to 16 inches. The ammo im running at the moment is hornaby whitetail 150grn, shoots well out of standard barrel. Any advice would be awesome.

    Peace of cake, I ran factory ammo through mine for ages with no issues. I reload for it now and think it's even better, does everything I ask of it.

    150g in a shorty works extremely well on game, especially out to the 350m you mention
