16" 6.5x47 lapua

[ZSteinle]

What kind of speed can I expect from 130&140 grain vlds. Wanting to build a 16" rifle but figured you folks in the handgun section would have some good info. I know Bishop has a short 6.5x47. Currently have a 30" 6.5x47 that does 2850 with 140's and love that caliber. wanting a short rifle with a supressor so 24" with supressor on would make it very handy.

My M.O.A maximum in 6.5 x 47 L is 16 inches including the brake . With varget and 130s I am getting around 2400ish fps.

2715 fps with a 123 A-Max (15" barrel). Varget
I have never run the heavier bullets in it.
