I hunt whitetail in a state and area that has equal parts <100 yard dense hardwood forest and >300 yard agg fields. I had been carrying a 16" 6mm creedmoor and a 16" 223 for the last 4 years after buying into the suppressor trend.
I wanted to try 130 ttsx loaded in 308 (vortex's Ryan M got me). Keeping velocity in mind with the ttsx for shots up to 300 yards, I kept my 308 barrel 20" (varget got me 3025fps).
However, after carrying it with a 6+ inch can, I'm over it. 16" max for anything with a 6" can for still hunting or stand hunting in the woods is my new limit.
Anyone else come to the same conclusion?
Once you go short, you never go back!
