6.5 creedmoor suppressed optimal barrel length

[swampy14]

I hunting in East texas shooting whitetail and pigs mainly. Longest shot on a whitetail is probably like 350yds max. The furthest I’ve actually shot was like 206.

We do have a range that goes out to a mile but that is just for fun I’m not going to be competing.

I’m thinking I’m settled on a 6.5 CM shooting 130-140gr projectiles. Out of a 20” barrel with a can.

I do want to try the Berger 156s just because most of the shots are within 400yd. I don’t really elk hunt but if I did, I’d want to do it with my bow

20" with a can is still going to feel long, especially in East TX brush. I'd go 16"
