Swap your .243 barrel for my 6mmRem barrel, do the same thing an even harder way

Identify your target beyond all doubt
@Tussock what’s the bet it shoots the 90gr eldx really well, and also a variety of 95-100gr soft points? And it tips deer over left right and centre and you’ll want to keep it the way it is? LOL!
I ran the berger 87gr VLD hunting in an old sav 99 with?? 1:10 was very emphatic on goats and small/ medium deer, never shot large deer with it.
Over W760/H414.
Definitely want's a supressor as with an 18" barrel your shooting mates will not be very happy with you.
M14 thread from Hardy very common. What have you got?

The 87gr VLD's i ordered have now arrived, i have H414 (used it in 243 already) so i'll be loading up a ladder to test very soon.
Yes thats right, the little Grendel piddling along at 2500-2550 with a 123 eldm has surprising ballistics out to 400 yards. I once would have scoffed at such low velocity, but ive seen that if matched with a bullet of decent bc it can be quite effective.
Put a 90gr TNT in the grendel and drive it at 2900 fps and look at the numbers out at 400 yds, its tapers off very quickly.
@GWH have you checked out the 6mm arc. I guess comparing Apple's with apples being 6mm shows this also. I think it shoots the 108 eldm.
.243 threads always go hard
Everyone loves the 6mm-08
Better have a go
So the end result was a visit to my local smith.
Rifle getting a DPT overbarrel in 6.5 fitted on the 17.5" barrel, the S&B stuck on top and I left with brass and projectiles to muck around with.
Going to shoot it as a short barreled 243 for a while. Gives me a suppressed rifle.
My 17" goes alright. You will love it I reckon, but if you haven't already @Tussock, make that first baffle a stainless one. It's pretty brutal on them otherwise.
I'd have a short barrelled .243 without hesitation, obviously a fast twist would be preferable
I run a 18 inch 243 with winchester factory and it is no where near as hard on its DPT as my old short barreled 223 AR(12.5 inch)
does the trick for everything I do, but I live in northland where 200m would be considered a long shot.
