[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 1056485, member: 88146"] While it's not apples to apples I have an AR-10 with a 16.5" barrel. With factory 168gr SMK Federal match ammo it will produce an average velocity of 2530fps. I'm sure in a bolt gun you would see a gain of 50-100fps. I'm not sure how a 6.5 Creedmore will perform being handicapped with a 17" barrel. I can't imagine that it would be good. With my 6.5x55 FS 20.5" barrel I lose 100fps to my 22" barrel shooting the exact same load. I think I would stick with the .308Win and go with a new barrel like has been suggested. [/QUOTE]
