Short barrel 6 creedmoor?
- Thread starter Abbotm2
- Start date
I'm running a 20" on two different rifles. It's screaming. Mild hand load 87gr v-max is 3,288fps, and factory norma golden target 107gr is 2990fps.
wowzers that’s fast.
I’m getting 3,098 from a 24” running factory 95gn bergers.
Superformance on the 87gr vmax. I don't have the load data in front of me so I don't remember how much, but it was a really mild load. Very accurate too of course. I could probably push it another 100fps without any issues, other than potential accuracy loss of course..
22" running DTACs at 2900 with N160.
I'd like to go to an 18 or 20" but I worry about burn % with a suppressor on the end.

My suppressor gets screaming hot after 3 or 4 rounds in short order. It's definitely not achieving full burn..
My 20” launches the 87 Vmax at 3280. 42 gr RL16. The same barrel when it was at 26”, with the same load, was 3400 plus. Been a while, so I dont remember exactly.

If you could dig out the load data that would be appreciated. Just found that powder in stock.
For comparison, I’m getting 2900fps with 95 VLD Target out of a 16” AR10.
I have Lapua SRP, Rl16, H4350, Staball, and a lot of 87gr V-max for a 18" barrel that will be here Monday. Hopefully I can hit 3000 or a little better.
I'm running 58s in 16" barrel with H4895 and cruising at 3500fps flat.
