would this be able to simulate the performance of a .308 with 20" bbl? it's an ops inc 3rd model suppressor on a mike rock 5R stainless barrel. it's 22" right now but there's just wayyyy too much weight on this rifle. Gonna be running 175s to 800 yards and maybe a little bit further. I know 175s will do 1,000 yards easily out of a 20 inch, that's why I ask.


ETA: I mean Federal 175gr FGMM

I run 18.5" with a 10 twist and 155 scenars at 2800FPS with a AAC 7.62SD and it stays sonic past 1k.

I thought about trying some 175's or better to see what they do,But what i have now works well for me in my comfort zone .I think it would be fine with 175's and dont feel i would have any suprises if I worked a load for them.

I would cut it and dont look back..
