What kind of velocities are you seeing?

what ammo (if factory) are you using?

I know there are a good bit of semi 6.5's with 20" barrels and kind of want to get a 20" for rpr so I thought I'd ask here.

For Grendel or the larger 6.5s?

For Grendel, I usually see 2500-2600fps with 123gr out of a 20".

For 20" .260 Rem, 2750-2850fps

My 18.5" creed was running 2675 with 140gr horn hpbt.  It had an adjustable gas block on it and it was closed down enough to just lock bolt back.  On warm days, suppressed and gas turned down a click or 2, i would see some ejector swipe on a few cases.  I think 2725 would be realistic with handloads and maybe factory in a 20"
