I like this thread a lot. I've got Tikka T3Xs in 6.5 CM and 30-06, both cut to 18.5" and threaded. My factory load speeds with suppressor (SiCo Omega 300) are below:

6.5 CM
-147 ELD-M (Supp.): avg=2445 fps
-143 ELD-X (Supp.): avg=2382 fps

30-06
-178 ELD-X (Supp): avg=2604 fps


NOTES: The 30-06/178 ELD-X was the only one I was able to chrono before chopping to 18.5". At 22.4" I was at ~2700 fps unsuppressed. Additionally, I was debating selling that 30-06 due to the beating I got every time I pulled the trigger. Now, with the suppressor, it's an absolute sweetheart to shoot. The 6.5 CM (not unruly to begin with) is laughably tame.

Hope this helps some guys who may be considering chopping their barrels and adding a suppressor.

To add to your numbers, I shoot 6.5cm and 3006. The 6.5 is a 18.5in fieldcraft. With 143gr eld-x it runs 2525fps. Adding to the tikka's are slow idea.
I chopped my tikka 30-06 from factory to 20" and threaded for the exact reason you did. Went from 2680 to to 2635 in the factory eld-x.

I would be curious as to how many of these are recorded within the first 100rds out of the barrel, and after 100-200rds as the metal smooths out. I know sometimes increases can be as little as 50fps or as much as 100fps.

That’s really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Mine has had 200+ and I broke it in properly (1,3,5 method)
