[QUOTE="hwy1strat, post: 1611790, member: 95985"] What doesn't make sense about it? I don't "absolutely need" to put a can on it, but I want to. There is something really nice about shooting a rifle with a can on it if you have never tried it. And this post is my attempt to gather info on what cartridge would perform well enough from a short barrel. I have seen several people now claim that 2700fps is capable from an 18" creedmoor with 143gr bullets. IF I can achieve that then that means the bullet stays above 1800fps out to 900 yards where I hunt. I don't think that I would be losing any capability of that rifle because "I couldn't handle" a couple more inches. This rifle project is less about weight and has everything to do with making a more enjoyable rifle with a suppressor. Posts like these waste everyones time reading it... [/QUOTE]
