Nah

My mod 7 is factory 20" and it still does alright, i dont think another 2" off it would bother it an awful lot.

Has anyone tried a real short 260 with a good dose of 2206H?

My Mod 7 is the older 18.5 inch, goes fine. Thats just with 2209 havent tried 2206H in it @Gibo

Nah, unless you are a velocity hound

I've got some left.... might try it in the Creedmoor...

Related question... Would it make a difference what cartrige? I was thinking of going short with a 6.5x55

Il buy it if you dont use it Slimy

I got told 6.5x55 go better than 260 at 18"

They go better at 20, 22 and 24 as well... so it might follow....

Quickload, which is spot on with its predictions for my 260, with AR 2209 and 140's goes from 2620 at 20" to 2550 at 18", with AR 2209 and 120's 2830 at 20" to 2750 at 18".

Am running a T3.260 at the mo, it is trying very hard to be my goto gun- am able to get 2775fps with 140eldm and 2209, 18" barrel and drops verified out to 400 to confirm velocity. Don't care about case life on hunting loads but have lighter loads for practice/ zero check ect.

How do you find eldms as hunting loads??
