Thinking bout cutting the barrel back on a Remington 7600 243. curious about somethings though. First is the accuracy,this rifle shoots about an inch for three shots at a hundred yards with the Barnes Vortex Factory 80 Grain TTSX ammo that I use and I sure would hate to mess up the accuracy of the rifle so would it hurt it to shorten the barrel? Next is Velocity loss,I am figuring a 2 inch reduction would give me about a 70 FPS loss or so and a three inch reduction would be a hundred FPS loss or so .Bout right ? Bout how much weight Loss per inch of barrel for the 7600 243 barrel contour? And finally for those of you that have a shorter barrel 760 or 7600 do you like the ballance of the rifle better than the standard 22 inch barrel?
