[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1228691, member: 27307"] blomqvistjs, It took me a minute to fully understand that you were not in the US. I just needed to read your profile to understand your comments about barrel length. We have to pay an extra tax of $200.00 for each barrel we use that is under 16" for a rifle. I personally will never be without a .222 Rem. It's a terrific cartridge for varmint hunting as well as target shooting. However... If you are intent on replacing it, I can suggest that you can use a 16" barrel for the .300 BLK in order to get the best from our powders that are available. Shorter barrels tend to be extremely wasteful and dirty to operate with a suppressor. I'm using Vihta Vuori Tin Star in my .300 BLK rifles. Performance is very good with the heavier bullets. But bear in mind that I'm using the Berger 230 gr. Hybrid and not just your average hunting bullets. The shorter cup and core heavy hunting bullets do not take up enough space in the case to create the slow velocity necessary for sub-sonic performance (about 320 m/s at sea level). But if you are determined to use shorter barrels and run a suppressor then you might consider running it 'wet'. Regards. [/QUOTE]
