[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2310833, member: 36999"] It may be more efficient but it is still slower than having the larger cartridge in a shorter barrel. With the 6.5 PRC you lose about 200 fps going from an 24” barrel down to an 18” barrel. This is roughly the difference between the PRC and the Creedmoor but dropping down to the Creedmoor still knocks an additional 150 to 200 fps off of that as well. Rifles can get really long for some applications when you put a suppressor on them, even my short hunting can adds 7” to the barrel length. This may not be a problem out west where the shooting is long and the trees are far apart but hunting the tight pines and underbrush here in PA an overly long rifle can be a big hinderance while the velocity loss of a shorter barrel still exceeds the requirements at our maximum shooting range. I would say with his 280 AI you are probably looking at losing 25 fps per inch for a total of about 100 fps. [/QUOTE]
