- After a bunch of you guys asked for some velocity numbers from this 16.5" shorty, I had to oblige. Take a look and see the results!

Just what I suspected it would be with that shorter barrel .. Thanks for doing the test ...
Thanks for watching!
"Chronograph doesn't lie."
Well. It presents what it perceives. And they can vary wildly from piece to piece of the same model from the same manufacturer. That's okay as long as you use the same one every time.
Interesting results. New to Creedmoor. Yeah, very late to the game. Wasn't interested at all until I won an upper and found 6.5CM ammo half the $ of 6.5 Grendel. So I guess I'll spend some time with it.
Nice presentation.
Thanks for watching..
Wow that's down around 6.5 Grendel velocity enjoyed the video.
Nicely done! If only ammo like 6.5 was cheap to plink with 😔
Guess I’ll be sticking to my 7.62x39 😎
Isn't that the truth... Thanks for watching!
Just seen it for 12$ for 20rds at academy sports
I hope you are not trolling me 😅

I Also have 16" 6.5 CM Cadex Action with BSF carbon Barrel. Factory S&B FMJ 140 @ 2516FPS Hornday 128 SSt @2727fps Handloaded 130 Horndy @ 2744fps
I’d love to see you take this out hunting and post some footage of that this season. I’m curious about this rifle performing I have it on layaway as a small pack rifle for hunting.
Yep, Grendel for shorter barrels, Creedmoor for long.
Every cartridge has an optimal and a practical barrel length. Not always the same.
Indeed.. Thanks for watching.
300fps with 140eldm is 5 inches at 300yds, 11 inches at 400yds and 18 inches at 500yds.
With the short barrel, you sacrifice the Velocity of the 6.5 creed.same with any other high velocity cartridge .
Thanks for watching!
Those velocities are not indicative of most Creedmoor rounds from a shorter barrel. They represent Winchester white box quite well. With a quality loading and 123s you should ve a lot higher. Most likely 2600 or more.
My 18 inch shoots 140s at 2630, for instance.
Thanks for watching
I see a lot of people saying the 6.5 Grendel is just as good in this barrel length but I would argue that since creedmore is easier to find and around 10 bucks cheaper for a box I say that dog hunts
Definitely a good way to look at it. Plus less felt recoil.. Thanks for watching
Dang brother, almost 10k subs!
Slowly getting there lol. Thanks for watching buddy!
Personally I think 20 inches is the minimum barrel length for 6.5 creedmoor. Anything under that you are given up the advantages of the 6.5 and might as well just use a three oh hate lol. I have a 20 inch on an AR and it's still great out to about 800 yards but past that it really falls on its face compared to the 24 inch barrel on my savage 110 precision. If you want a lightweight close range (inside 500 yards) hunting rifle for small/medium game I don't see a problem with a short 6.5 creedmoor though, bet it's still extremely accurate.
I was thinking the same thing until I watch the video the other day of an 18-inch 65cm where he shoots tight groups from 100 all the way up to 700 yards but I wouldn't shoot an animal pass 300 with 65 Creedmoor
@terryleblanc6868 they are still accurate out of a short barrel, but the velocity just isn't there. Out of an appropriate barrel length the 6.5 creedmoor still has .357 mag energy levels out to 800 and 9mm energy out at 1000-1100. I won't hunt animals bigger than a white tail with a 6.5 creedmoor, and I agree that it's not really ethical to use one for hunting out past 300-400 yards. The 6.5 creedmoor is more for two legged animals
The advantage of the 6.5 CM is not the velocity, it’s the high BC of the bullets.
a short 6.5cm is better then a short 308 in every aspect. If you need a 500 yard deer gun, neither are THAT great with that short of a barrel.
Those velocities are usually from a 24 in barrel right? So 16 that’s pretty impressive
you would be correct. Thanks for watching!
I've always been a fan of 16" barrels on my 308s, in fact I bought another Howa when I 1st saw the 16"! After watching your videos I pulled the trigger and bought another in 6.5! I have a 16 upper in the works for my DB10 as well. I've always believed you lose about 300 fps +/- with a 16" barrel. I was concerned because everything Legacy put out in specs said the 6.5 was a 1:10 twist rate. I had already purchased a B&C stock and a PT&G DBM, I run Surefire muzzle devices; 6.8 MB on the Howa, 7.62 Warcomp on the DB10. Thanks for your content, accuracy with different ammo video coming next?!
I'd really like to know if it likes heavy or light bullet weights??
Hey thanks for the comment! Unfortunately i had to move this rifle along in order to get other stuff for the channel. However i do know this rifle did tend to favor the 140ish grain weighted projectiles.
@@TheHide Thank you for that info!
@@TheHide My 6.5 Howa is complete, ready to be sighted in! I've been buying up a variety of ammo weights to test with. The 308 still needs bedding and it will be completed as well!
@a.joegevara3519 Heck yeah, time to get shottin'!!!
Why not 7.62 x 39 or 300blk in a 16-inch barrel?
You're not one of those people who put 223 through an 11.5 are you?
I don't mean to offend. It just messes with my OCD
I’ve got a Bergara with an 18”, hadn’t got to shoot it yet, but wondering where I will be at in velocity vs your 16”
Good stuff. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Unless you have an obscene amount of money to burn, there’s no reason to switch from .308 from a citizen perspective.
No argument here
Match 308 is the same price as match 6.5 creed
@1000RRBLACK I have found that the cheapest 6.5 creedmoor loadings, like winchester white box, grouped far better than similarly priced 308 winchester loadings.
How far do you think you could make an ethical shot on a whitetail with a 16.5” barrel on a CM?
200 yards
Iv done it at 430 yards dropped like a sack of potatoes. Pa white tail doe
What was the temperature outside Can make a difference
I see you added a muzzle break. Did it help with recoil management???
Yeah it did help a little for sure. Thanks for watching..
What brand of rifle ? Come factory 16-6 . Or 18 and you cut it down ? Sweet set up
Its a Howa 1500, Thanks for watching!
what size and type muzzle brake is this on your rifle?
suppressed video?
Standard deev sounds like a low budget heavy metal band
