    Hermitage liked post by Bagheera On thread : Where to measure barrel length?
    This is correct. It is quite a bit shorter than the barrel looks. For instance, the OAL of a .308 cartridge is 2.800" (therabouts) so a 20" barrel will only have about 17" of rifling and bullet...

    mikee liked post by Bagheera On thread : Barrel length considerations
    In principle, shorter barrels can be more accurate but not enough to notice in a hunting rifle. A shorter barrel will have less muzzle velocity than a longer (about 25 fps per inch) so some people...

    … and just walked in to the local shop and bought 100 rounds of factory 7 mm08 off the shelf. It was Sako brand and I had a choice of two bullet weights.

    There are some things you really need to take but hope to never use. Don't ditch them.

    Check out just what is wrong with your eyes. Has it changed - is it actually "failing" ? Did you used to be able to see better ? Sounds like you're short sighted if things are actually sharp up...

    viper liked post by Bagheera On thread : 308 Twist rates v projectile weights ?
    Looking at the factory (Winchester supersuppressed) ammo, 308 168gr and 300 BLK 200 gr are both rated at 1060 fps. Presumably, BLK typically have faster twist barrels and they've limited the bullet...
