Need advise from you short barrel 308 guys

So i am sick of pissing around with a long barrel and a suppressor in my truck, so i am going to make a short lightweight 308.
Looking for build it off a Kimber Montana 84m, and cut it back to a point where the suppressor basically meets the stock.
Not shooting further than 250m with this rig. The 150gr superformance is listed at 3000fps (24 inch test barrel) a 16"is set up should still give hopefully 2600-2700? or load something semi reasonable.

Let me know your thoughts, and if any of you have a similar rig with any load data or ballistic info, pics would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Had a exactly what your talking about doing,
16 inch tube and 130 Barnes 2206h and 2950 fps
Great little bush rifle

Shit thats the business. They are .270 ballistics out of a 16". How did you find the accuracy out of the shortened kimber?

having a short barrel will not effect accuracy, my suppressor is a couple of mm off the front of the stock on my 7m-08. shoots like a dream. I don't have load data as I buy factory ammo with fantastic results.

I have a T3 with a 16" barrel and suppressor shooting 125gn accubonds in front of H335 at 2995fps.
Works for me.

It was very accurate. Put a mag full in one ragged hole.

I load 50gr 2208 and 215 primer behind a 130ttsx for a 16-18? inch rossi for 3000fps and good accuracy.

Tho 2206h or h335 better powders for this weight barnes as 50+gr 2208 is a pain to get in the case and needs a droptube.

Real accurate mate, all my kimbers have been the same. As brads said
It was real accurate and a perfect bush pig setup

not 308 but you get the idea 763mm

Nice...The beauty of the 308. So versatile.

I get 2840 with factory 150 ssts. 17" barrel. Groups are pretty average but i find that with most factory ammo. Just tested some 125 grain accubonds today- utter shit groups. But the 168 vlds were all touching at 100 and doing 2600 :)

Shit thats promising.

2650 fps out of my 16 with 155 Noslers driven with 8208

I done it more for a laugh, olny loaded three and went to book max for 2206h. No pressure signs so all good.
