243 Win 16” Velocities?

[TimberHunter]

Want to get a 6mm rifle together. Want it to shoot 103/108/112 around 2750fps to allow me to use quick drop mental math. Full time suppressed, likly with Unknown OG to keep it short

Those of you with short barrel 243’s, can you let me know what velocities you are seeing?

Tikka 243win 16in suppressed - 108eldm at 2740 with h4350. I think there is more velocity potential with other powders but it shoots well.

Watching. Doing the exact same thing.

Thanks. Now that I know I can get to that velocity with a 243 with a 16” barrel. I’m going to load up some 107s in my 6.5cm to essential mirror a 243/6cm to see how spotting shots are vs a 147 going 2480 fps

That’s impressive.

That’s impressive.

RE 17… not RE7. I typed too fast. RE7 would probably blow someone up. Haha.

I’ve never played with the RE powder so thanks for this clarification.

assuming that’s a 16” barrel? Thanks

16-17ish. Call it 16.5…

Op, I have thoughts about the same thing. How well do they suppress?
