[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 872095, member: 30532"] I don't want the barrel to long with a 9 inch suppressor so I'm doing some research in 6.5 and 7mm cartridges that retain the most velocity in shorter length barrels. I'd like to stay around 24" less would be better but if needed I would go to 26" anything longer is pretty combursome with an extra 9" hang in on the end of it. The short mag family does well in the 24-26" range I'm not sure what else is out there to get the most performance without needing 28-30" barrel. I realise most rounds will gain in a longer barrel but some do better then others in shorter barrel applications, I have to compromise max performance with comfortable length. So far it looks like the short mag family fits the bill for efficiency in 24-26" length for maximum down range performance. I have a 26" barreled 6.5 creedmoor that shoots great out to a 1000, with this build I'm hoping for a little more punch at long range. If any of you have any ideas that fit the bill please share, thanks. [/QUOTE]
