[QUOTE="Axl, post: 2721177, member: 90110"] I have an Element in 6 Creedmoor, and one of my friends does also. For Velo w/suppressor the Hornady Black was 2905 fps and the Horn. Match was 2880- Hornady lists both at 2960 (don't know their barrel length). This was when new, could see a little speed increase after 100 or so rounds. Both guns shot both factory cartridges 3/4"-1" @ 100 for 5- 3 shot groups of each Black and Match. I worked up a couple loads with 105H Bergers. With Staball 42.7gr 2905 fps. Ave of 3- 3 shot groups @ 100 were .595" (Hodgdon lists 43.7gr @ 3156 w/24" barrel.) And same bullet with Superformance 45.7 gr was 3023 fps. Ave 2- 3 shot groups.720" (Hodgdon got 3151 same load w/24" barrel). The gun weighed 5.5 Lb. out of the box. I have an NXS 2.5-10 w/ NF UL rings and it is at 7 Lb empty no suppressor . For L.O.P. I get 13". The Magpul mags are very nice. The aluminum barrel shroud gets very hot fast, especially when suppresed. [/QUOTE]
