6x47L barrel length v. Velocity???

[scouttech]

I'm going to build a short tactical rifle.
Right now I have a 28" and with suppressor it's just too long, and 18lbs. Hard to shoot off hand.
So I'm thinking 23" w/ lighter contour.

Any guess what the velocity will be with the 105B. Right now my load is RL-15 35.8 and doing 3200, 105B.

Will I break under 3,000?

Would it be better to build up a 6.5x47?

Thanks,
Tom

My hunting rifle specs. 24inch heavy sporter Bartlein barrel, Hogue stock with full length bedding block, Predator action, Nightforce NXS, Harris bipods,9-13in) swivel. All up weight 13lb
105Berger vld 2920fps with N560 41.7grains.0.25in three shot groups of bipods. I imagine it wouldn't be a problem getting 3000fps.

So an update:
Took my baby, 6br and rechambered to 6x47L.
,it hurt to do that, this br was a gem)

I cut my barrel to 23.5"
Broughton
With the 105Ber and RL-15
I'm running 3050-3065.
With the suppressor on the end.
I'm going to do more testing to see if the can helps w/ vel.

All I wanted was 3000 and I got more.
The cool part is the same load for my heavy gun works with the new short gun.

Groups in the 2's with me and the gun warmed up.
This morning I shot a .45" With the cold bore plus 4 more rounds. 25deg this morning.
