Thread: Barrel length

yes and no......the 243 is good fast,and ok not so fast.....if you going to keep both,by all means make one shorter..but if going that far,why not go shorter??? one for pure bush work and one for tops.... but yeah cutting .243 short sort of kneecaps a great cartridge to begin with...once you start hunting with it,make decision then,its a minor cost to recrown it and make a tad shorter LATER... but a major expence to try and make it longer again.
