Putting togther first bolt action pistol. 700 XLR Atom chassis. Looking for best barrel length for 308 based cartridges for hunting inside 400 and hitting steel past that.
Have these donor barrels ready to be cut down. All 14", 12.5" different based on cartridge?
243 likely ~90gr factory remington twist
7mm-08 150 or 162gr
308 all options open 155-208
Better to get speed with a few more inches of barrel or lighten the bullet?
