Short Barrel 6 Creedmoor?

[Fever Buck]

So, seems like 18” barrel should get you to 2800~ with the factory 108s. Think I’ll go with that direction.

That's what I'm seeing reported. 2800 factory and 2900 handloaded depending on barrel and elevation. Might be a good length to be at for a short carry gun that can still reach out to 650 yards while still above 1800 fps.

So, anyone know of any good Carbon barrel manufactures making prefits in the 18” length? Looks like proof stops at 22”.

 

[letrbuck]

Carbon 6. Also on sale right now

Thanks for the rec. seen some iffy reviews on them from Rokslide. Makes me hesitant to jump on one.

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.

Yeah I just looked and couldn’t find an 18”. Guess you’ll have to go 16.5”!

PVA and Preferred Barrel Blanks both offer a carbon wrapped options at various lengths for prefits.

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.

Going to use a suppressor? If so, 16 or 18” is nice.

I went 18” on mine and have been very happy with it.

Yep suppressed for sure, your rifle looks great.

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?

 

[bbell]

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.

Mine shoots great. Just had to wait 10 months.
