Anyone shooting one under 20"? How do you like it? Speed? Noise? Muzzle blast?

18" creedmoor
I have a 16.5" that I bought off here.
I like the feel and balance of the rifle with my light can mounted up, haven't chronied it yet.
Kick feels right, not heavy, but not non existent either.
I do know my wife's 16" .260 unsuppressed will get your attention real quick.

I had this built by SAC back around 2012. Didn’t keep it long, but put about 200 rds through it. With a 140 AMAX I was making 2625 fps if u recall correctly. It shot lights out, and was a step up from a 20” 308 for sure. Sold it because I didn’t care for the chassis once I started carrying it. Felt great prone, but sucked for maneuverability. I don’t have anything against a short 6.5, but I’d prefer a little more speed if possible.

Anyone who advocates a Grendel at any length but thinks a 16" Creedmoor doesn't have enough oomph, I suggest they compare the ballistic tables.
