[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1664924, member: 37460"] I get 2992 FPS using RL26 out of 24” barrel, Savage rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor shooting 140 VLD’s. I have a 22” Kimber, 6.5 Creedmoor, shooting 129 Nosler AB LR and get 2922 FPS. I just can’t get anymore speed out of the 22”. With 140’s out of a 22” i don’t think you will accomplish the speed you are looking for safely. I also have a 26” American Rifle Co Nucleus in 6.5 that I built from the ground up. That rifle produces speed in excess of 3050 FPS using RL 26 and 140 VLD’s. If you are building your rig and weight is of concern maybe select a Proof Carbon barrel in longer length than 22”. Pricey barrels for sure but you’ll accomplish the speed factor you’re trying for, maybe! You’ll have more choices in the 6.5 CM for off the shelf ammo and quality brass. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
