Re: 243 ackley imp question

Nosler 95s are what it likes to eat even though the BC is less than desirable, it shoots very reliably out to 800 - Every barrel is a bit different.
Back to the main question: Not many are running a 243AI under 24 inches but then again most aren't running with cans on them. So, if it were me I would cut it to the desired length I wanted regardless and not worry about velocity loss. 243s are plenty potent and as long as it's accurate and portable with the can on it you're going to be happy with your rifle.

Thank you for being so helpfull. I'm not sure that i have seen any 243 ai's with cans on them either. This will be a dedicated coyote calling rig, and I'm not going to have take too many shots over 450 yards. As for the 70gr noslers, it will consistently shoot them under 4" at 600 yards. So under 450 yards, it should work just fine.
Will the shortened barrel affect accuracy?

Once you hit some shit with the 105's,the 70's will lose all luster.
