How short would you go for a PRS gun in 6BR, running 105/107gr? I am eyeing 22in+brake but want a sanity check.

I chopped a 26” 7mm RemMag (3,126 FPS MV load) down to 22.5” and changed to a slightly slower powder, stuffed more of it in the case, and ended up shooting noticeably better groups and still holding 2,936 FPS MV average with the same bullets, brass, and primers. The only thing I changed was the powder. I don’t regret the decision at all. To me, the added handiness of chopping the barrel 4” for running a suppressor was worth it.How short would you go for a PRS gun in 6BR, running 105/107gr?

The difference between a gt and br is roughly 120-150fps at similar pressures, so I'd say if you want to run a 22" with supressor and still be able to run 2900+ fps, either step up to a gt, x47 or cm. The gt is stupid easy to load for.Interested as well. I’m committed to shooting a suppressor and was curious if the br would be worth it at 22”. Currently have a 22” 6 creed barrel on there.

What do you see as an achievable safe velocity in a 22” br?The difference between a gt and br is roughly 120-150fps at similar pressures, so I'd say if you want to run a 22" with supressor and still be able to run 2900+ fps, either step up to a gt, x47 or cm. The gt is stupid easy to load for.
6BR keeps cost down by only using 30gr of varget. The downside is you need a long barrel to get the 105 hybrid into its happy place.What do you see as an achievable safe velocity in a 22” br?
I’m just a mid pack shooter looking to make the most out of barrels and components. Last two barrels being 6 creed don’t leave much on the table when it comes to keeping costs down.
I don’t plan on ever not using a suppressor again. And I don’t want to show up with something that’s not atleast a little competitive.
With a 22" and having an all weather safe load, mid 2700s is gonna be where you land. 26" is usually low to mid 2800s. The guys running 6br at 2900-2950 is a hot load and where a dasher is more comfortable. I ran my last 28" 6bra at 2920 with 105s and H4350, warm load. The new one is 2860 with varget.What do you see as an achievable safe velocity in a 22” br?
