[QUOTE="rlspahn, post: 1783403, member: 11120"] Here's a link to another article that gives some insight to the performance of a short-barreled (16-1/2") 6.5 Creedmoor: [URL]https://rifleshooter.com/2016/05/16-6-5-creedmoor-synopsis-of-a-short-rifle/[/URL] And here's one with a +P throat, that can provide extra velocity over the standard chambering: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/defensive-edge-suer-carbon-terminator-in-6-5-creedmore-p.208490/[/URL] The minimum barrel length that will work for you depends on your desired performance. Are you looking to hunt medium-sized game at 700 yards or 500 yards? Determine your performance requirements, and then see what minimum muzzle velocity/bullet combo will deliver it for you. Then with some info like the cited articles and others' experience, see what minimum barrel length will likely provide the needed muzzle velocity. But remember, it's only a prediction and your actual performance may be better or worse, as each rifle is unique. [/QUOTE]
