Currently have a 26 inch running Berger 156s avg 3015-3025. Wanting to cut the barrel down a bit for a can. Unsure on what can but at minimum it’ll be a standard length can but more than likely an L can. Considering Abel Co, OCL, and Diligent. I hunt in SC so weight is not a big deal, either hunt from an elevated blind or from the ground using my Fatboy tripod. Being on a bolt gun max suppression is the priority. Would love to hear from fellow hide members on suppressed 6.5 pecs hunting whitetail or possibly hogs. Thanks
6.5 prc barrel lenght

I shoot a 20" with 140 hybrids, 2850fps, H1000. Your current load of 156s at that velocity is pretty warm I take it. Dropping 6" of barrel will likely net you a 200fps loss.
I've used my Scythe-Ti, Nomad TI XC, and Dilligent Defense STI. Nomad sounds the best.
Nice I have a standard Nomad L on an 18.5 inch 6 creed, killed 2 or 3 deer this year with it using factory hornady 103 eldx. It sounds pretty good.
I also killed a ton of game this year with short 6cm and 22cm, Dilligent wolf hunter. Those lil cartridges are very effective, quiet too. Minimal recoil for watching impacts, I really like the 6cm from an 18-20" tube.
Yea I’m definitely enjoyed mine. Definitely will be hunting with it more this year.
I've got a 22" 6.5prc on a badger, 140eldm handloads with h1000 are running 2930. Factory 147eldm are 2850, but they are fairly tame compared to handloads.
Nice it’s crazy how much a difference reloads make but I was thinking 22 might be a sweet spot for running the medium to heavy grain 6.5 prc projectiles. What can do you have on yours?
I’m currently building a Proof Carbon 22”. I am hoping to hit 2850 or better with factory ammo.
None, my state sucks, lol. Area 419 brake.
Initial load work, it's a pretty good shooter, 58.5gr was what I settled on.
Hawk Hill 24 inch, 7.5 twist running Barnes 127 LRX (copper creek cartridge) at 3,060 fps.
Haha damn man sorry to hear about your state, hopefully in the future more states get on board. But you have a shooter for sure though
