[@wadelucero6461]

Life is like a box of barrel lengths you never know what your going to get

[@AlaskanBallistics]

👍 very true

[@kevincostelloHTX]

Your mamma sure does care about your education 😂

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Very helpful and quite interesting. Appreciate the various data points from your content. Well done. Huge thanks. Enjoy.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours my friend.

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍great job Chuck, really impressed with the 20” kimber.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Me too! Thanks Again!

[@montanamusings]

Great comparison! Thanks for the content!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Thank You Sir.

[@ryanclarke5502]

Very interesting results! That 20” barrel did better than I would have thought!!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Me too

[@phild9813]

I was surprised when I finally chronographed my 20” Ruger American. 2810fps with factory loaded Barnes 127 LRX. I figured it was doing like 2600 lol.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@phild9813 lol yeah that's great. My last video in this series was on the LRX. my favorite hunting bullet

[@Eggomania86]

Chamber dementions and lock up affect velocities more so than barrel length along with a consistent barrel regarding machining.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I tend to agree within reason. 18 inches shouldn't beat 24, but yeah 20 vs 22...

[@bobcatforever3485]

AB. Good video. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Thank You Bobcat!

Morning Chuck 🌄 as always a great video with killer content! 🇺🇲

@tonygslc801 thank you kindly!

Hi Chuck, I recently bought my first AR15, (not my first automatic though) I was so excited to shoot it I didn’t even think about “lubricating” the rifle before its first shots. I did put some drops of rem oil around the action and in nooks and cranny’s. People off of Reddit say my gun is destined to explode now? Did I really screw up that bad? In that case I guess I’ll stick to bolt actions.

[@FindersKeepers88]

Good, Thx. Thought that the longer barrel would be best for pure speed, also thought that the Kimber did very well for a 20 incher

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Agreed... it's amazing what the kimber does compared to the 18inch Aero Precision.

[@sugargoldy]

Good video Chuck thank you.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@sugargoldy thank you!

[@kevincostelloHTX]

try the factory 130 grain terminal accent Or the 142 grain accubond LR

[@super_drupal]

That Kimber sure is fast for a 20". I have the same barrel length X-bolt and I get 2620 fps. That load is super accurate, going to use it this Fall for deer.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Awesome! I hope you do a few to fill that freezer

[@super_drupal]

@@AlaskanBallistics thanks man, cheers!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@supdru thank you!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Godspeed and good hunting my friend!

[@Accuracy1st]

I can't get Fed Fusion to shoot well in anything I have. Great bullet but it's useless if it doesn't shoot well. I now have three 6.5CMs. Going to have to even it up and convert one of my Tikka 30-06s to a 6.5-284 Norma so I have 3 each.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Sounds like a plan.

[@millerkingeekuk494]

Thanks for doing these videos! you videos help with narrowing down the choice of ammo. Ammo request, to be reviewed please? Budget friendly. Winchesters 125 gr deer season Xp, 125 gr deer season Copper Impact and 129 gr Power point

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Check out my second .243 vs 6.5creedmoor video. I believe I use the deer season ammo in that. Thanks! Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours.

[@millerkingeekuk494]

@@AlaskanBallistics thank you

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I'll try the others at some point. I've got a whole playlist on 6.5 creedmoor though

[@david6920-r6z]

Interesting MV comparison Chuck. But man you gotta clean and dry all them rifles that got wet! 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I did! Fortunately, we did all these on the same day.

[@thestujames]

Interesting results to be sure...I'd love t see the same test with 6.5PRC

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Wish I had multiple barrel lengths to test that.

[@dietrichjohnson9556]

so looking at the 20,22 and 24 inch results Do you think it boils down to the kimber has better manufacturing tolerances than the other 2? or luck of the draw?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Possibly better manufacturing, possibly luck. We'll see.

[@danielrobey1759]

Luck of the draw, definitely luck of the draw... Kimbers quality has been all over the map since they left Oregon

[@CheeseBurgerXJ]

How’s the recoil on the 6.5 vs a 30-06?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Lol 6.5 kicks more like a 243.

[@bustabass9025]

Picked up one of those Garmin chronys. How do you like your's?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Best thing since sliced bread

@bustabass9025 me too. Darn Celiac Disease!

[@a.joegevara3519]

Wish you would have included a 16"

[@AlaskanBallistics]

ME TOO! Thanks brother. Sorry, I just don't have one.

[@Lucysdad66]

Well, all that scientific work just went out the window. How the heck did that Kimber outperform a 24 inch?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

more pressure in the fit of the round in the chamber and rifling... more pressure equals more velocity.... best guess that I have

[@mgabriel2636]

That's a lot of 6.5s you have there...

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@mgabriel2636 yeah I might be a fan boy
