I’m only getting 2500 from a 20 inch tikka in 6.5 creed with handloaded 147s. What’s your load?I was getting 2800 fps out of my 18" creed suppressed with handloads.
Hopefully Beretta can get me taken care of and handloads can wake it up.

@swavescatter have you measured any of your fired brass? I used a headspace comparator and my fired brass only grew .005-.0010. Wondered if the chamber was tight or just the thicker Norma brass didn’t move much after one firing
Copy haha. The tikka barrel is definitely a hindrance plus the alpha brass also slows me down.It was… crunchy. No pressure signs though but right at the edge. Also not a tikka so add a free hundred fps.

How many inches did you cut off and were those numbers total fps lost or fps lost per inch removed?Well I chopped a couple inches off and added a suppressor - looks like I only lost about 35 fps muzzle velocity with the Norma.

I lost about 20 fps with 147gr ELD Match and 43 fps with the ELDX factory ammos. Swapped out scopes to my ATACR. Heavy little rig now...
