Truck gun with surpressor build?

Really thinking an 18-20" 243ai was thinking any of the Berger 90-95 and the Sierra 95tmk or the 90g gamechanger also. Proably get 3000-3100 maybe out of the 243ai with an 18-20" barrel.

A 243AI will get you there with those bullets.

A .750 taperless barrel at 18" should be sub 3#, unfluted. My 21" .338 caliber Light Palma contour, fluted was 3#-6oz, IIRC.
 
All my supressor host builds are 16" (or shorter) now. Seems like half my life has been devoted to finding the right truck gun. My Daniel Defense M4 go to rifle is my always truck gun (14.5" pinned and welded suppressor mount). I've got 16" bolt guns in 223, 22 creed, 6.5 creed and 308 that rotate out. The DD M4 has killed lots of vermin. 1-8 nightforce in a LaRue qd with a red dot 45deg mounted to ring top and a Thermion in the same type mount for darkness.
 
My old 18" 6cm would run 95smk at 3080 very accurately with TS15.5. 105hyb at 2950 H4350 was also a good combo. I never found psi till over 3200fps with the 95s, could prob get more speed with other powders. I'm having another 18" cut currently.
