[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2606460, member: 116181"] I talked with the smith who is going to put it together, emailed a bunch of suppressor companies, ran a bunch of numbers, and now looking over this (many thanks Ernie) I came up with 12.5" 6BR in a 10 twist. I was pretty happy to see you mention the 6BR because it came up from both the smith and a suppressor company. The breakdown of the logic is: 308 boltface - 6x45 was another contenter but I don't want to limit the action in the future with the smaller boltface Will almost hit 3k with the 55-64gn bullets I have an excessive supply of (and will hopefully pop armadillos like balloons 🤠) Fast enough twist that I can probably get a 90gn Nosler BT out of it at realistic feeder-hunting distances in TX (50-100 yards) And if not Hammer makes the 55gn HH and 71gn SH spec'd for a 12 twist that will drop the skinny scrawny deer we have here Small enough case capacity to run the suppressor on the short barrel Right now I'm going over the Lilja XP contour chart to get a good shoulder for the can at a 12.5" finish, and also want to make sure I clear the end of the stock at that length.
