16-18 inch shorty rifles

After switching stocks and barrels a few times I think I finally found the sweet spot.

Are those handloads? Seems quite a bit slower than it should be. Have an 18" ATX barrel and with mild handloads and 140ELDs it's getting 2650fps.

Sweet looking rig. That might stalker from manners will be sweet.
Yes they are handloads. With 41.8 grains IMR4350 I was able to get 2497 using 140 eldm out of virgin Lapua brass. With 41.3 grains IMR 4451 same bullets and brass was getting 2457. I have some H4350 loaded up but have not shot them yet. Hoping to get to them tomorrow. I do not expect those to be that much better if at all. I have never seen velocities that high in either of my 6.5’s. My CTR with 24 inch barrel is barely faster.
