    Gunsmithing .243 barrel length

    What barrel length would you recommend for a 243 shooting the heavier bullets from a 1 in 8 twist barrel? Intended use is long range target,steel and varmints. I'm thinking 24 to 25" is a good compromise between losing velocity and too long a barrel. Am I right? Thanks.
