Thread: After some Practical ideas

I am thinking about building a reasonably hard hitting rifle for Red stags. It will be a little different from my usual choice in that Ill be looking at suppressing it and therefore will likely have a shorter barrel than my usual 24 inch. The country it will be used in is beech forest with river flats, so shots of 15m too maybe 250 at max
I have a donor rifle in the safe a BRNO 600. Im thinking easiest thing to do is 30/06.
Just not sure on such with shorter barrels.

So any info on loads, barrel length etc. Or other chambering too consider.
