ULTIMATE - SHORT BARREL CARTRIDGE???

[PC356]

Open ended question. For me anything recoiling that much to move a big pill that fast in a short barrel is hardly “ultimate”, quite the opposite. Shootability and ease a of spotting one’s shot should be a priority in the “ultimate” category.

I can't answer your question and I'm torn myself.

I have a LA Standard doner action that I'm looking to build a short barreled rifle for light hunting / target / long range trainer. I'm all over the map with it; 30-06AI, 243AI, 6-06AI, even a 6 Creed. Likely staying away from the barrel burners.

I have a 6.5 creed, 7PRC and 30NMI so I'm really covered but my thinking is a 30-06AI suppressed slinging 180's would be a great addition.

I also have two AR's; one with an 18" barrel suppressed and very accurate to 500 yards and a 10" SBR suppressed.

If I had a short doner action I'd be looking at a 223AI but that's not in the near future.
