Gentlemen:
Building new rifle in .243 WIN.
Would a 20" barrel be too short for this cartridge?
Thanks.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
do you think there will be excessive muzzle blast?
I do not think so, 45 some odd grains of powder will not make that much of a noticeable difference.

The only real fireball 243 I have seen was one of my original factory 14" Striker barrels. When I installed a 17" barrel the fireball went away. You will have nice handy rifle with the 20" barrel.
Do yourself a favor and get an 8 twist so you can shoot 107-115
