6BR and <26" barrels?

I'm thinking of building a "tactical/practical" 6BR for <650yd shooting, but want to go with a 22" light varmint contour barrel.

Can anybody give me an idea on estimated velocity? I seem to recall ~2850fps with a 105/107gr from a 26" barrel being mentioned previously, so give that could I expect 2700-2750fps?

Many thanks...
 
BoilerUP,
I ran QL with 105 Berger, Varget, 22" barrel. The results were 2768 FPS. We all know this may not be exact, but should give you some kind of an idea. Hope it helps.
 
It helps very much, thank you.

Can you tell me what the actual Varget charge, OAL, and pressure was for that load?

Can you tell me the velocity estimate from a 26" barrel?

Again, many thanks!
 
25" barrel and 2820 with Spencer 103s, could run them faster but that's what they like for me.
