18" .243?

[Johnny Lately]

Does anyone have any experience or opinions about a 18" .243?

I'm looking to do a shorter barreled rifle for my next build, just to do something different.

The purpose would be for shooting steel 800 yards and in. I would like to shoot the 115 DTACs. Am I missing any info?

Would I be wasting my time, or would a 20" be a bit more feasible? I did a search, but it didn't yield much info, thanks.

This is my thread from last year. GAP should be done with my rifle anytime now.

I think I remember another thread as well. I remember a video of a rifle with a large flash.

I had several 18" 243's.

I sold my 8 twist to this guy

he was getting some really good speeds with R17 and the 105 amax. Might be worth contacting him.

that rifle is sweet. it now has a shark 6mm can, premier 3x15 and mcmillan stock. im getting over 2900 with Reloader 17, with a 105berger or amax its a deadly combination. ive shot the rifle out to 750. when i get more time i will take it to 1000
