The 6UM

[1Alex]

What is the expected velocity loss/ inch of barrel cut off? Running some numbers it looks like 2750fps with a 109 eldm gets me to 1800fps at 625 yards at sea level. That’s plenty for what I want it for. Would love to go as short as possible on the barrel. Any experience or ideas on what to expect?

You can do that with a 16” 6 Creed. No need for a 6 UM for that velocity.

I want to go as short as possible I’d love to be able to get these numbers with a 12” barrel hence the reason for the UM

Just to make sure. You are aware that you’ll have to do a SBR tax stamp with that.

Ah. Well, you might get there. I’m not quite sure. Someone more knowledgeable than I should give input on it. I’d be curious if it could burn enough powder in that short length.

Ya fully aware of the tax stamp for the short barrel.
