Right now my rifle is in sporter configuration waiting for decisions to be made as to what to upgrade next. I'd like to put a heavier profile barrel on it, and preferable 16.5" long.
At first I thought I wanted the new barrel to be a .308, but I've been liking the .243 that the rifle shoots now. I started thinking about muzzle blast on a 16" barrel.
So given a Rem700 with a 16.5" barrel with no muzzle device, how would the muzzle blast of a .243 compare to that of a .308?
