[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1890140, member: 113501"] I'm just breaking in a new 6.5 Creedmoor barrel, a 28" carbon fiber wrapped Proof research. With Berger 140 grain box ammo, it chronographed at 2,800 fps. It might speed up over time or just be a slow barrel but if it was a new 24" barrel it might have a hard time breaking 2,700 fps with Berger box ammo. A suppressor can speed things up a bit but 20" might have trouble getting there. If you can hand load for the test, the 20" barrel might be less of a risk but I would still be a bit worried about making the number. [/QUOTE]
