[QUOTE="Black Hat, post: 2187206, member: 109036"] 17" barrel is not going to get the most out of any cartridge, especially not an overbore like the .243, muzzle blast would be plenty. I believe the 95 grain weight to be the ideal at around 3000fps and have shot everything from a cane toad to a bull with them never had a issue. I'm not sure what your expectations are but I would go lighter not heavier for a short barrel with most likely a 1:10- 1:9.25 twist. [/QUOTE]
