    I'm against cutting them shorter if you want to use them successfully further out, up to 200 it matters not

    My 22" 284 Tikka is definitely a little long with the DPT on it but with the 150 ABLR steaming along it works great

    We need to run suppressors as we are often fairly close together shooting Goats etc, we use earpro when there is time
    Mu understanding is you can still ethically shoot out to 350m with a 16" .308 with hand loaded ammo with fast powders. I'm going to try and figure out a load that I can use to accomplish that.
