20" barrel 6 Dasher/BRA/BR?

[FNG1001]

I've been thinking about running a 20" barrel on my 6mm instead of the normal 28". Anyone else running a shorter than usual barrel on their 6mm? I looked at GRT real quick to get an idea of the trade off, and it would put be at around 2600 fps running Berger 105. Reason I'm looking at going shorter is that a 28" barrel + 8" suppressor puts me in an awkward position when moving and just gets ridiculous.

I was thinking of do this for my daughter first rifle I have 6cm in night stalker it might be a little much on recoil for her first centerfire rifle. I think the dasher at 20inches would be pretty good and still get okay velocity.

The last 6-BR barrel I had was a proof cut to 22".
Using the same powder charge as my 26" Criterion, it was within 5fps of it.
Cut that bad boy and rock on.
