It's getting a velocity that your barrel may shoot. A5BLASTER's results are not typical. His 16" is faster than my 18 Bartlien, and 20" Howa bolt actions.
I would go with a 2375 to 2400 fps for 123 ELD and a .255 G7
Quick and dirty numbers with 2400fps, and 27.5 station pressure shows 1105fps at 1k. Right there at the max.
You need more speed. 18" minimum if you want to play at 1k with factory ammo. You might get lucky and get something in a handload to run faster, but that is the unicorn we are all chasing without exceeding SAMMI Specs on pressure.
