Barrel length for a 6.5x47L with a can

[nobody13]

Hide Members,

Any of you have intel on a good barrel length for a 6.5x47L with a can? Don't want to lose too much velocity shortening the barrel, but don't want to carry a shovel handle barrel either.

I know there are some running a 18"-20" barrel with a can on 6.5x47. I have a 20" rifle that will be finished next week in 6.5x47. I'll be running the 123's and 130's in this rifle. It'll have a can on it (once the paperwork comes back).
