I’m planning on getting a creedmoor barrel for my tikka action, specifically a 20” prefit. The intent will be to run some sort of suppressor on it eventually. I’m just wondering what I’m in for from a muzzle blast/recoil standpoint when I shoot it prior to having the suppressor???

I have a 20" Creedmoor that I load up with reloder 26 and push 156gr bergers out the front at almost 2700fps. Muzzle blast isn't bad at all unless I use a side-baffle brake. Then it's a little close and "blasty"

I also have an 18" Creedmoor. I prefer to shoot it bare muzzle as well, until my suppressor is released.

Thanks guys, that’s kind of what I figured but I’ve never owned a 20” barrel. I have some rl26 and some 147 eld-m bullets I’m gonna try initially I think.
