Yep they are slower but some of it is likely inconsistent factory ammo though. I chronod almost a whole packet of 143eldx in the 24" the other day while my wife was shooting it. Slowest was 2581 fastest was 2672. ES of 91

So the 2375 i got from the 16" a while back could well have been some "slow" factory rounds. I used to have a browning 6.5 prc, sold that and replaced it with a tikka 6.5 prc. Next to no difference in speed between them with the same load, the browning was 2" longer (26") so was always going to be faster but they were within 50fps with the same load.
