I’ve seen some posts here lately about the 6.5prc barrel twist rate directly correlating to the bullets blowing up. I’m building a short hunting rig to shoot suppressed but keep mv fairly fast. I was wondering if those out there with more knowledge than me thought there may be issues with my 16.5” PRC build. My specs would be:
Tikka T3
16.5” Proof Barrel w/ 7.5” twist suppressed.
Would be shooting a solid bullet. I really like the Barnes lineup of hunting bullets so would likely be shooting a 120grain TTSX or 130grain TSX. I’m thinking at 16.5” w/ those bullets I’d be getting around 2850+ fps
Id be using it early through late season so temps would be wide ranging from 70* down to 20*most likely.
