Chopping the 308 to 16" seems a waste when you have a 243 and the 44/40. The 243 with a 22" barrel will do everything the 308 short barrel will do and the 44/40 will do the short range bush bunting...

Hunting mate uses the SST's in a 7M08 and at those velocities on meat reds and goats etc they work well. No bullet will do every thing. you need to decide what you want. Large heavy bodied animals...

Reloading for my basic 243's. Dad used variations of the 4350 in 70's and 80'. I've been using H414 / W760 (2 names same powder) for mid range pills. Spherical so it works well in a powder throw....

Don't know if anyone has cone out with this but maybe if you need to shoot longer strings you need to move to a heavier barrel that will adsorb more heat. Assuming you are culling or day walk...

Sorry for the thread drift on my part. Guess we got a bit carried away. I see you point, not needed when you have a big 9.3. See where you are going now. Some in the US are also doing the legend...
