Know a youngster who has a Howa in 270 - about 22" barrel. Shoots both tops and up close bush/matagouri work - so he's got the right caliber. Wants to suppress it to cut down both recoil and noise. He can fit a part over barrel suppressor but this will still add inches to length, and he needs to keep as short as possible.
Question for 270 users - can he cut anything off barrel and retain both good accuracy plus energy. He does not reload so its a question of powder volume/burn, twist rate/pill stabilisation etc. Even 2" off would help but am aware this is not an ideal caliber for chops.
Appreciate some experienced detail and advice on this one.
