Updated range report 16.25 in Creedmoor

Started with
Savage Grs 24 in 6.5cm
-chopped to 16.25 (thanks Morgan)
Crux suppressor
Nf Atacr f1 4-16x42
Prime factory ammo

Shooting on bipods forgot my rest and definitely will need a trigger adjustment or replaced.

Very nice. I have one in 308. Just loaded up some 155 TMKs for it.

that's good info on a short barrel with a known factory ammo. Interested to see what a whole box of Prime looks like across that Magnetospeed, for a real world avg velocity and SD.

Going out on a limb and assuming not 140s.

Nice Dan!

Prime is 130

Nice shooting!

thanks guys..got a new trigger on the way never cared for savage triggers. ordered one from rifle Basix

saving all my brass will load for this rifle down the road

test ammo done when the barrel was 24 in long was
hornady 143 eld magneto got it at 2750 fps
after the chop same ammo was at 2511 fps

both shooting suppressed

lost 30 fps per inch

also good info. I've got a 21" and I really want to chop that sucker to 18". Please let us know if you get a chance to run the smaller 120 ELD-M factory ammo, ought to get your speed up a little faster in that shorty.

let me see if I can find a box of ammo ill snag it and just test it for ya

got a box on the way will send you test results and groups

Love it! Gonna chop my ballistics advantage AR creed down now after seeing that velocity.

You are a gentleman and a scholar sir. Doesn’t surprise me, since you’re in my ole home town!

How long ago?

I get 2720 with 120 Amax out of my 16.25" creed.

Texflip what nf are are running

Nice. That's plenty of speed to make shots at 600 yards. I'm thinking about cutting my barrel down for hunting season, and setting my Tikka up with barrel nuts so I can switch to a 24" heavy target barrel during the off-season for range fun.

NXS 5.5-22x56 NPR-1

I have a Remington Model 7 with an 18in Barrel 6.5 Creedmoor I'm shooting Hornady 123 grain SST s going 2810 I also had Berger 130 grain hunting bullet shooting 2770 ,using Varget and vihtavuori 140 shot superb

I believe Jeremy was getting 2730 average with factory 123 Hornady match from his 16" Encore.

Here ya go ammo shot great in my rifle I was clover leafing at 100

This is with prime ammo 4 at 100... I'm. Sticking with prime ammo

Also this is with the rifle. Basix trigger I just got in for Savage. 1.4 lb is the setting right now

that's pretty good speeds for a 16" barrel, ought to be plenty to keep it effective out to the distances that I shoot.

right now, I'm getting 2910fps out of a 21" barrel with a 120 ELD-M. At 600 yards, that's 3.6mils of elevation, and a 1.3 mil hold with a 10mph crosswind. If I plug in 2726fps, my wind hold only increases by .1 mil.

Moral of the story: The decrease in velocity from a short barrel won't make it any harder to hit targets at 600 yards.

What Ammo?
