Thread: Seeking advice re barrel length for a .308 and 7mm-08

I wouldn't bother to shorten it if it wasn't losing at least 4".

308 handles short barrels well, and for 200m you could feasibly drop down to 12". While some may argue the point, nobody on this forum would go and hold the target at 200 yards and dispute it's legality at that range, even though it is a bit extreme.

I've got a mate who runs a 13" 308.

Runs softer projectiles in the 165gr weight class doing around 2330 fps.

Have rung gongs at 470y with ease.

I'd completely agree with you and having seen it in action it works really really well
