[QUOTE="elktaker, post: 1996676, member: 86786"] I am looking at actual velocities that people are getting between 16-20”. I put 16-18” because I have found some beta down to 20” where a guy cut his SAUM barrel with a mild load and 147s but he stopped at 20”. it looks like with 156s 6.5 PRC will definitely get me 2800 fps out of a 19” some are saying I should get 2600 out of a 16” which makes me good to 700 (not sure I am willing to gamble that on a 700$ barrel). 6.5 saum - going to be faster in all 6.5 SS even faster and looks like probably close to 2800 FPS. I live in Utah and hike a lot which I why I want short/light rifle. 800 yard is my self set ethical distance I will personal shot an animal. I will likely stretch the gun to a 1000-a mile occasionally. 6.5 PRC is going to be cheaper barrel, reloading dies and brass. I didn’t think I was going to get 2800 out of a sub-20” barrel. factory reloads do not matter to me at all, but I guess they will be there. [/QUOTE]
