Short Barrel Velocities

[Abbotm2]

What are ya'll getting for velocity out of your short barreled hunters?

I don't see much data and I know this setup in getting more popular as suppressors becomes the norm.

For my hunter:

6.5 Creedmoor
18" Bergara

123 SST/ 123SMK
@2750 w/ N555 (60deg)

143 eld-X
@2580 w/ N555

147 eld-M
@2560 w/ N555

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

My 6.5 creed is running 2590 with Varget pushing a 130 RDF, this is out of a 16” Proof stainless barrel. I have shot this load to 1100 and it just shoots. I have a 18” Bartlein carbon on order that should be here next month or so.

What powder?

N560, StaBall 6.5, IMR4955 were three that could hit 3000.
