I've always wondered what barrel is required to keep .308 supersonic past 1000?

Anyone have a 18"-20" Bull barrel in .308? Or is it a waste of time. Remington makes a Varmint Heavy 20" barrel in .308. Sounds like a great compact huning rig. I have a SPS with a 20" barrel that shoots cloverleafs at 100 yards and hits steel from 200-500 yards so consistently that it's almost boring to shoot it. If you want to shoot farther than that, I'd be looking at other calibers. |

I have no use for .308 at all, and freely admit there are much better options for pretty much anything you want to do. I'm just taking issue with some arbitrary line at 500 yards where the .308 is somehow even less worthwhile past that distance. The truth of the matter is that the .308 can effectively be shot much further than that by a skilled shooter, and for someone who is probably new to bolt guns or long range shooting the .308 is still a solid choice unless they're into building custom rifles and handloading right from the beginning. |

I have a 16" LMT MWS and at a John McPhee class I was hit man-sized steel at 640 meters with FGMM 175s and a 10X scope. I would certainly not try to take an animal at that range, but 400 would be a snap. YMMV.

Guys win benchrest matches with them. 6 PPC still dominates, but the .308 can do a lot of good work. |

But I came to that number via a calculation for harmonics that we did a bit of fooling around with while in college. and if the Rem is new production, fingers crossed the chamber is cut concentric. I guess the "original," version was that it was the perfect rifle length regardless of caliber, due to the rough similarities of building material in rifle barrels. So, in theory it'd apply to the 6's that Ed and Virgil shoot, or if I recall correctly, the Military FM's referring to 21.75" being the best tested length for the .308's, however 6 one half dozen the other you're not incorrect at all. Either way I would imagine things like powder rate, projectile size, twist, would all vary the outcome of the "perfect length," no matter what. Though, you're definitely a pro so I'm not at odds with your opinion either. Frankly, shooter ability is going to be the most limiting factor in the equation, either way. :) thanks for the info. |

I have a Remington 700 LTR. It's a 20" fluted Bull barrel. Great little gun!
While it certainly is somewhat slower than a 24", it's not perceptibly less accurate, and the velocity only shows up at 900 yards or so. Not a waste at all. |

why not just get a normal hunting weight rifle with a normal 22 or 24 inch barrel and just use that
what on earth would be the point of an 18" bull barrel? so it can be real heavy and have nasty muzzle blast? a lot of this "tactical" stuff reminds me of putting a noisy muffler on a Toyota corolla |

My 18" AAC SD is a fantastic rifle for the money. I play to upgrade it a bit with stock and bottom metal. I have the Surefire brake on it and it has very little recoil. Does the 300 win mag and 338 Lapua mag shoot further? Yup. They are also more expensive to shoot and buy. They are also overkill for a lot of purposes too. One of these days I'll buy a .338 but I'm not going to get rid of my 308 when I do.

What exactly were you given? I have a Rem 700 AAC-SD 20". Excellent rifle for the price, and 20" is really the sweet spot for a .308, IMO. FWIW, it's about 11 pounds with a Vortex 4-16x50 and B&C M40. Still light enough for hunting, but heavy enough barrel to be a tack driver. |

actually thats for the 6mm ish bench guns.. Ive had great luck with a 22 inch thats back bored 1/4 inch in a 308. But I came to that number via a calculation for harmonics that we did a bit of fooling around with while in college. and if the Rem is new production, fingers crossed the chamber is cut concentric.

go 21 and 3/4 trust me.. Why would that be? You have that setup? think most have a 1:12 twist in them. I will bet a yen and a half it's the reference to Ed Shillen and Virgil King's theory that 21.75" was the "perfect," 308 length. I've personally spoken to Ed on this topic and he says it's crap. Matching proper projectile speed to barrel reverb was substantially more important for accuracy than barrel length for a given caliber. I tend to take his word for it. ;) I have an 18" AR308 and a 20" SPS, both go 1000+ yards with 168's just fine, if that helps OP. actually thats for the 6mm ish bench guns..

Concentric and ON AXIS!!! Chamber rough in, is done in the fucking hammer mill. The bastards with finish ream and headspace on a barrel that has the chamber 3//8" off axis, then blame bad ammo when your bolt wont open.

I'm no .308 fan at all. I don't own one and I think in general .30cal anything sucks. That said... you can certainly employ a .308 effectively well beyond the 500 yards you say is the line before you start looking at other calibers. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Anyone have a 18"-20" Bull barrel in .308? Or is it a waste of time. Remington makes a Varmint Heavy 20" barrel in .308. Sounds like a great compact huning rig. I have a SPS with a 20" barrel that shoots cloverleafs at 100 yards and hits steel from 200-500 yards so consistently that it's almost boring to shoot it. If you want to shoot farther than that, I'd be looking at other calibers. I'm no .308 fan at all. I don't own one and I think in general .30cal anything sucks. That said... you can certainly employ a .308 effectively well beyond the 500 yards you say is the line before you start looking at other calibers. Why do you think that anything .30 sucks? It's the most popular hunting caliber for good reason. |

I've always wondered what barrel is required to keep .308 supersonic past 1000? 22+ inches and 155 grn bullets. |
