Short Barrel 25 Creed?

[970_lly]

Is anyone shooting a short barreled 25 creedmoor? Short as in 20" or 22". If so I would love to hear some load/velocity info. Im about to pull the trigger on the barrel and hope to push the 130-135 grainers to 2900 or just above. I am not super concerned with brass life but 1-2 loadings would be too short.

Thanks guys

Not gonna happen I'm being told. I'm helping a buddy with a similar build and I've been told by multiple people/smiths you can expect low 2800 maybe even into 2700 with a 20 inch barrel. He's going with a 24 inch barrel and hopes to get in the 2800s.

If anyone has any other data to contradict that please post it I'm curious as well.

I think you'd need to be in the 25 PRC/SAUM category to get over 2,900 with a 133/135 in a 20" barrel. Similar to a 140 in a 20" 6.5 PRC.
