[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 501746, member: 9253"] The extra 4" of barrel should add about about 60 yards to the trajectory of a 20" DPMS LR-300 (or LR-30S). I have one of those and would have been happier with a longer (but not heavier) barrel. The more important limiation of the LR-300 is the magazine length which makes shooting heavy VLD bullets impractical. 190 SMK's have as high of BC as any bullets i've found practical to use from the magazine. Does anyone know why DPMS discontinued the LR-300? Did they consider it dangerous or just lack of sales? I'm sure the 20" bull barrel didn't help it's sales. My LR-65CM shoots the same distance with less wind deflection and less recoil. Less energy too of course. [/QUOTE]
