Apologies if this has been asked and answered already but I wondered if anyone has experience with this combo out to 200 yds. Only thing I could find were discussions of terminal effects etc. with different barrel lengths, bullet weights and distances but nothing recent specifically dealing only with accuracy (preferably from a rest).

Many thanks in advance.

 

One more thing to consider is that AAC does not warranty their cans for use on barrels shorter than 10.5 inches. This may prevent a problem when finding the data you are looking for with that particular combo.

Many thanks for the reply and I will check in over at the other forum. Actually I already have the 10.5 but due to increasing physical problems from an ancient Vietnam shoulder wound I have increasing trouble supporting the leverage from the extra length of even the 10.5 for good off-hand groups from 200m and less so I am switching to the 7.5.

I teach firearms marksmanship and self defense shooting but due to my own view of the legal risks (I am an attorney as well) associated with using a rifle/carbine for self defense I limit that training to shotguns and handguns. As such, and since I am also not a hunter my rifle/carbine teaching is for marksmanship fundamentals and range use so terminal ballistics etc. are not all that important to me .

Again, many thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you need a good two point sling to help with "weight" out front. Although 3 inches of barrel is only a few ounces.

 

Can you elaborate on that?
