Thoughts on Barrel length (suppressor)

[Ronald W Schaefer]

Oh yeah my twist rate in the SAKO 85 .260 Rem is 1:8...

20-22 is fine. I run 3100 with a 135 at 2.950 coal and 2910 with a 156 in a 22". My can is 7" long.

20" for 650 yards? go for it!

RIGHT!! Easy for a 20.

my 6.5PRC is 26" plus the suppressor but I want to shoot targets out to 2000yds one day.

I need help building a new rifle 6.5 PRC that will be suppressed..

the can is 8.6" long and I'd like to have range out 650 yards i was thinking 20" is that too short of a barrel? Also barrel twist (140 gr.)

Thanks,

20" 1-8 twist w/140's. Will be fine. Go for it.

make sure that you check with your Can company and ensure that it will handle the pressure of the shorter barrel. Not all suppressors are the same quality. My brother's AAC can't handle my shorty .338 Norma, while my TBAC can handle it fine... it's a 22" barrel.

20" 1:7.5" 6.5SS, just assembled today. Will be running a TBAC Ultra 7....and a different EH1 when Manners decides to finish it.

This is the exact same Setup except 6.5 prc that I'm going to build.. Very nice rifle.. Also the can I have in jail has no barrel limits.

I'm getting a 6.5 Sherman built with a 22" plus 7" can. I just cut my 6.5 Creed to 17 inches with 9 inch can and have 308 with a 20". They work

Just worked up a new load in my creed with 20" and 7" can. Runs 2720 with a 135a. 20.8 moa for 823 yards to confirm data. Right now I feel a yote or wolf is in trouble inside 800. I've really grown to appreciate the short barrel and can
