Not a direct answer to your question but some data points for your consideration.When looking at various production rifles, the 6.5 PRC seems to come with a 24” barrel, whereas the 7PRC often uses a 22” barrel. Why is there a difference in barrel length for these two cartridge in stock production rifles?
The videos are helpful. The difference in velocity between the 22” and 24” for the 7PRCis less than 40 fps. Wow. Thank you.Not a direct answer to your question but some data points for your consideration.
Yeah based on the above I went with a 7prc w/ a 20” barrel understanding I’ll be slapping a can on it 99% of the time.The videos are helpful. The difference in velocity between the 22” and 24” for the 7PRCis less than 40 fps. Wow. Thank you.
Keep in mind, by lengthening or shortening a barrel, powder burn rate can make a difference in velocity. The longer barrel may be able to shoot a slower powder and you get a little more velocity. I have seen larger swings in FPS gains with longer barrels and slower powders, but it isn't a guaranty that will be the case. Regardless, accuracy and extreme spread are the most important to me.The videos are helpful. The difference in velocity between the 22” and 24” for the 7PRCis less than 40 fps. Wow. Thank you.
Great video and comparison. Thanks for sharing.Not a direct answer to your question but some data points for your consideration.
