20" is good all around length.

I like 24" myself.

6.5mm inches are long inches.

20" is a really great all around length for 6.5. You will have no problems with 1,000 with this rifle.

Frank doing it with 18 inches.



I have two (2) 6.5mm 1:8 30" 1.25" Straight Contour Bartlein Blanks

getting mated to ARMALITE AR-10 barrel extensions w/0.002" bolt space gap

per matched head spaced bolt for 24" of goodness.

I can't speak to this caliber but I do know that if I was building a .308 with the intended purpose of 600-1000 versus an "all around gun" I'd definitely go 22-24" in a bolt gun and 20-22" in gasser....erroring towards the longer barrel for both platforms.



I'd go 22" OP.

Minumum of 20" but also, make sure you go with the extended gas system. Rifle length can bring headaches.

This is good advice if you're going to suppress it.


When I was looking at the Creedmor I found a 22" barrel with rifle+2" gas system.  I think it may have been Rainer arms.

Does anyone have rough velocity #'s for a 20" barrel using factory hornady 140's?

Got a 20" barrel coming for the rpr and wanted to mess around with potential ballistics in strelok.

If you've already got it coming, there's no need in playing around.

I'd guess that you'll be around 2600-2650  if the American gunner runs close to the 140eld-m and your barrel isn't overly fast. I'm around 2630 from a 22", but I wasn't using the best chrono the day that I tested.

Oh it's coming.

That's not bad of a loss at all.

Scope Out the Berger 130gr Hybrid, sir.


Hit BOOLITS, Then Berger and move down to 6.5 130gr Hybrid


And go with LAPUA brass [small rifle primer, CCI 450 are kewl enough with VARGET]
