I have a 20 inch 6x47L that is very accurate, no idea of the velocity.
I had an 6BR 10 inch Encore, killed several crows at 200 yds and scared a bunch more! No idea of the velocity.
Will be testing an 18 inch 6x223 in the spring. Green Mountain barrel that I cut and crowned. I expect .5MOA. Can't justify a good chony and don't trust the cheap ones. Don't care how fast they are going as long as they all go in the same hole.

I have a 17 inch I shoot the 105 hybrid with varget. 2750 fps. My 29 inch with the same load gets 2850. The shorter barrel shoots best. Edk

My 14" 6mm-.223 XP100 averages 2617 with the 80 grain Blitz and there is more room for velocity but the accuracy is very good so I stopped there. The 85 grain Sierra HPBT will do nearly 2800, 2794 IIRC don't have my notes handy on that one.

I used to have a 15" 6mm BR but I sent the records with it when I sold it. I have a 14" 6mm BR in an XP but I have not shot it over a chronograph so I can't really say what it will do but the accuracy is very good.

I can recall when my late and great father-in-law ( Billy "Bill" Young, hear in Eastern Carolina) broke out his XP 100 pistols. He had won a few dollars on friendly wagers to see who could shoot the smallest groups. Most rifle shooter could not pass up the easy pickings shooting against a little pistol. Some would not say anything after the targets were recovered from the 100 and the 200 yard lines. Just load up there rifles and go home. They were not bench XP 100 pistols, all were hunting pistols. Mostly his 10" 6x45.
