6.5 barrel length

[Scott14]

Any tests out there on the 6.5 creedmoor out of a 24" barrel vs a 26" barrel? Is there any major ballistic differences? Emphasis on major.

Hard no

 

[Steel head]

No.

Maybe 50 FPS

Based on the test described here, the effect is pretty minimal.

And if you put stock in Ryan Cleckner’s line of thinking, a longer barrel may not be as precise anyway (depending on barrel thickness, etc).
