I didn't want to hijack a recent post about barrel length, since my question is a little of topic. I am getting a 6.5 Creedmoor and will run it suppressed. What is the best barrel length with a suppressor added? Would 22" work or is 24" a better way to go?

Really depends on your personal preference or what you want to do with the rifle. What's your intended use?
I run a 24" and it works it pretty well as a compromise between portability and performance

Either one is fine.
I probably wouldn't go over 24" unless you're building a dedicated LR gun that you plan to shoot prone 99% of the time. I'm probably going to do my 260 at 20" but my 7mm Mag is 25"
As said, it doesn't really matter, but will depend on how you want to run it.
I think Skinney started his 260 at 24 and it's at 22 right now.
