PDMR, or; How I learned to stop worrying and love the short barrels.
#13
VASCAR2 Wrote:For shooting at distance I think it helps to stay above the transsonic zone. Precision Firearms posted velocities from several short 6.5 Grendel barrels in Jan 2017. These velocities and a ballistic computer will give you an idea how much velocity you’ll have left at 600 yards from different barrel lengths.

The Hornady calculator gives these values for 123gr ELD-M:

2000fps (7.5"): 400yd: 1359fps, 500yd: 1217fps, 600yd: 1092fps
2100fps (8.5"): 400yd: 1444fps, 500yd: 1297fps, 600yd: 1159fps
