[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1381814, member: 101677"] 308 is a great round to run with a short barrel. It’s very efficient at burning the powder because of bore ratio to powder burn rates. You should be good to go. I read an article a few years ago about a guy who started with a 308 barrel at 30” and cut it back to 13” I think in 2” increments, I think around 17” was when you really began to lose velocity, but the accuracy increased with the shorter barrel, because of less barrel whip from it being shorter.
