    6.5x55 Barrel Length

    I'm about to chuck down money on a GunWorks suppressor they have going for $517.50. I'm thinking of having my barrel length shorted so the suppressor is 5mm from the end of the stock.

    Two things:
    This would make my barrel 18" long With a 5" over hang so about 2" further forward then the standard barrel.

    I don't have my chrony any more as I stopped using it and thus sold it. But what fps loss should I expect?

    IIRC I was getting 2730 fps with 140gn Amax's

    Note: I would like to be able to kill red deer to 300m, 400m would be nice.
