Ive just spent an hour looking at topics about barrel length for 6.5cm and can't decide. I am getting ready to buy a remage barrel to convert my 308 700 to 6.5cm. I plan on running it suppressed majority of the time. I will be using it for a few PRS competitions a year and paper punching/steel banging out to 1000 yards and little beyond. I did a PRS match last week with my 300wm and not the best for that and don't want to burn the barrel out of it for allot of that short range stuff plus destroy the steel The normal thought from reading is the longer the better and 24 to 26 is the best length. I will be using a specwar762 on I and adds about 7ish inches to the overall. 26 is too long and 24 is almost too long for me, I was looking at 22" but not thinking about 20", I that too short? Its going to be a MTU contour so I'm trying to keep the weight down and still get long range performance, I have more strength than most but being a women its still a long term issue. I know I'm not losing much on FPS from dropping from a 22" to a 20" but dropping from 24" to a 20" is allot and effects coefficient a bit and flight time.
What say the hide?
