Real world factory 108 Eld-m ammo 6mm creedmoor fps

[littlebigtine]

I am replacing a barrel on my tikka 6 creed and am wondering if it makes sense to chop this next one even smaller.

I had an 18” omr prefit that was getting me around 2730 which I felt was slow. Very accurate however.

Just picked up an ace blank.

Any real world velocities with corresponding barrel lengths using factory 108 eldm ammo would be helpful. Thanks

Longer than you’re looking for, I think, but here are results with my 20” Bartlein barrel, 4 shot groups.
Lot 4256 = 2,800 fps ES 34.7 SD 13.8
Lot 2786 = 2,882 fps ES 6.5 SD 2.5

Berger factory 105 hybrid ammo - 2,740 fps, ES 15.0 SD 5.7

Seekins 20" Element Hunter (but its new, so hopefully it'll speed up a bit):

I’m getting 2746 from my 18” preferred barrel. I’m pretty sure my last lot was a fair bit faster than this tho. I just can’t remember the number anymore

I was around 2750 with factory 108 ELDMs out of my 18” 6 creed.

2730 with a 108 ELDM takes you past 700 yard killing ability at mid DA.

If it was “very accurate” I’d wouldn’t be replacing it until it was shot out.

I get one lot of ELDM going 2795 and the next lot going 2960 in a 24" barrel. then a third lot somewhere in between.

It's more lot dependent than anything. buy a box, take it straight to the range and check the speeds if you're getting good numbers and it shoots, go back to the store and stock up.

Tikka stock .243 barrel, rechambered to 6CM, and cut to 21” - Shooting Factory 108ELD-M getting 2850.

Love seeing this thread as I’ve been debating on building an 18”.
