[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1802955, member: 14204"] Welcome to LRH and enjoy! BHA actions are awesome, I have the older SR2 LA. As you and others have noted, a shorter barrel is a decrease in velocity. Changes in velocity also affect energy at the point of impact and trajectory but if you propel the right bullet designed for your intended purpose at the minimum bullet to effectively expand at 700 yards, you should be OK. [B]"My"[/B] unwritten rule is 1500 FT-LBS of energy and >1600 FPS (depending on the bullet design minimum expansion) at the point of impact. As far as twist goes, 1:10" is fine but [B]"my"[/B] personal preference would be 1:9" or faster for the heavies. Don't want to assume anything but make sure wherever west hunting you are going that a suppressor is legal for hunting. GO FOR IT! Keep us posted on your build. Good luck and happy safe shooting/hunting. Ed [/QUOTE]
