Who has the shortest barrel creedmoor?

[dårlig jeger]

I'm putting together a Tikka SBR build for Midwest whitetail hunting. All shots are 25-325 yards.

My initial thoughts were 6/22arc, but I have 6 & 22 creed barrels I could chop. My suppressor limits me to no less than 12.5".

Does anyone have a sub-14" creedmoor? Any regrets, velocities, experiences would be appreciated.

16" is pretty nice for a 22 Creed.
14" wouldn't be too bad either. Still be getting 77 tmks at a tad over 3000.
My 16 with 77's is doing 3082.

I'm shooting 16" now. At sea level you have to step on it to get long for caliber bullets moving. It's a priority for me that my bullets move in the 2700-2775fps range depending on BC.

If you go shorter to 14" or 12.5" you are probably going to be working with short for caliber bullets like 95tmk and 77tmk.

When I get a Rokstok Lite I'm probably going to build a 14" quick drop death machine with 95tmk.

95/77's are what I was thinking. If I could 2700 out of those, I'd be happy.

I know people always say, "most of my shots are sub-100 yards but I want to be able to shoot 400 just in case," but my actual split is probably 2/3 under 100 and 1/3 ~250-320.

I have no experience with sub-14 inches. However, my 14" integrally-suppressed 22 CM with Hornady factory 80-grainers are going over 3,000 fps. If you go below 14, I'd suggest going down in case size or up in bullet diameter.

I think a light load of Staball 6.5/h4350 or a fat load of h1000/staball HD/ n565 will get us there easily with a 14".

Have 12.5” 6.5cm, and have used quite a few 14.5” 6cm’s. They’re great, zero issues with distance limitations except for normal impact velocity limits.
