247sniper Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hiya guys, the Tikka t3 in .204 ruger has a choice of 20 inch barrels and 24 inch, if i was to get the 20 inch would this cause the round to loose potental muzzel verlocity over a 24 inch barrel ? Cheers guys Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yes, get the 24". The .204 needs the barrel length to make the most of its case capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks baldie, i thought possibly it would be something like that. I cant get a tikka t3 in super varmint/varmint, in .204, 6 mth wait ! But I can get a cooper stright away. What would a cooper be like in .204 ruger chaps. Thanks for your help and advise guys Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 http://www.bullberry.com/204Rugerdata.html This article is interesting regarding .204 barrel lengths. I would go .20 practical or .20Tac personaly. Im achieving great velocity through my 20" barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
