    .375 Ruger. Works real good from a 20” barrel.

      Be hard to beat a short 308. I run a suppressed 16” 308 and have killed whitetail out to 575 yards with 165gr Accubonds.

      Good luck on the build.

        Fastest I found in the Nosler manual was 3300 (one load) the rest were around 3200-3250 with a 26inch barrel. Cutting 6 inches off the barrel should be significant but if it’s being pushed hard, near max, who knows what can be reached with real world data.

            Worth looking at the numbers with a 6mm on a 18 1/2" barrel. May not be as fast as you are looking for, but definitely the shorter barrel with outstanding performance.

            Mine weights under 7lbs without scope on a walnut stock. Shoots dimes with 100gr.

                The “hammer” is less the cartridge than it is bullet selection and shot placement.

                    If you reload, I would check out the 6.5 sherman short or 7 sherman short. You should be able to achieve the numbers your wanting with the specified barrel lengths depending on bullet selection.

                      I was scrolling through thinking the same thing.....my next rifle will be a 6.5SST in an 18" barrel. Should be able to run the 140's right at 3000 and the 156 Bergers in the 2900 range. Would be a perfect setup with the suppressor on the end.

                        308 and 6.5 PRC are good with short pipes.

                          Didn’t gunwerks recently come out with a shorty 338 rcm that was integrally suppressed and had a folding chassis? I think recreating that might be similar to what you’re looking for (except with a normal barrel and suppressor).

                            I believe your thinking of the Lite Sabr offered in the 338 and other calibers which the integral suppressed barrel is built by SWS in Stafford. Very cool build but not 13k cool.

                              Yep that’s the one. Super cool and could definitely be built for a fraction of the price. That’s what I picture APR’s #2 to be for this year...or some variation thereof where it doesn’t have the integral suppressor.
