[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 1486811, member: 13"] With a 16" barrel in a 308 Win based parent cartridge, you are going to be struggling at 800 yards. My guess is that your impact velocity at 800 yards will be below the bullet's design parameters. 500-600 yards is another story. Run the numbers, and see what you come up with. With short barrels, you have to pick up case capacity to get higher performance. [/QUOTE]
