6.5x47 Lapua Barrel for Desert Tech SRS

[Tx-Ag2010]

I'm looking at getting into the 6.5 game and was thinking this would be a good caliber to help train on and save money (rather than shoot .338).

I'm curious what your take is on the recommended barrel length and manufacturer. Im looking at the proof research and think something in the 22in range would be the ideal balance of length and performance (im planning on running this with the same .338 Thunderbeast Ultra suppressor I use for my Lapua Mag). Ill be running it on a SRS Covert A2 and would like to keep it as short as possible without crippling the performance.

What powder are you using to get that velocity?

a bunch of varget haha. I was running it at exactly 2800 but was a touch rough on the brass. So i backed it down to 2780. And it is extremely accurate and consistent.
