Extreme Long Range Hunting & Shooting (ELR)
Is the 6.5 Creedmoor too "light" for 1,000+ yard hunting?

[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1375594, member: 26430"] Velocity with a can is generally a few fps higher but not a huge amount depending on barrel length, shorter barrels will show a greater increase than longer one with a can attached, the reason there’s typically a percieved drop in poi is because you’ve added a weight to the muzzle of the rifle which in turn pulls the end of the barrel down, not by much but enough to cause a shift in poi. Barrels, no matter the length or contour do flex, even super short heavy contours. [/QUOTE]
