Short Barrel 6 Creedmoor?

So, anyone know of any good Carbon barrel manufactures making prefits in the 18” length? Looks like proof stops at 22”.
 
Get an 18” proof blank and have it chambered. By far the fastest option.
That’s what I’d like to do. Just seems like everyone is out of stock and weirdly enough, Proof isn’t showing 18” anymore on their website.
 
Decisions…. 16, 18, or 20 inch barrel with my 6 creed build. Terminus Apollo action, ace #3 contour barrel 7.5 twist, XLR element 4.0 chassis.
 
Another data point. Got my x-caliber barrel last week. 17” 1:7.5” twist.

Sighted in at 100yds. Should have kept it a 9 shot group😀

I don’t have a chrono so I took it as far as I could which was 730yds to verify velocity. I should be around 2775fps.
Thought it was faster but was pretty consistently low for the last few rounds I had left and ran out of time. Need to go out again and see if it was velocity or shooter issue. Will update when I do.
Happy with your barrel? The exact barrel I’m thinking about getting. 17” x-caliber…what contour did you get?
 
It’s a heavy barrel. 7 contour I think. Should have gone sporter and used an adapter for 5/8”. I do like it though. It’s just heavy.
 
Anybody running a heavy sporter contour (#5 x-caliber, #3 bartlein, etc) barrel in a larger barrel channel? Wondering if it would be an absurdly large gap between the barrel and that large of a channel in a manners stock.

Oddly enough I just posted pictures in your thread on the Hide of an 18" 6 Creed Benchmark #4 in a Proof Sendero contour inletted rokstock.

Also - Lots of barrel channel discussion here, where dead cats were referenced for amount of clearance one should have between barrel and stock.
