[QUOTE="long450, post: 186594, member: 8426"] You can expect 2500 to 2700 FPS, depending upon which bullet weight you shoot, out of the 16.5 " barrel. Accuracy should be about the same as the longer barrel was. Since you do not plan to handload for it, you will be at the mecry of whether the barrel likes the factory load or not. In other words if you had worked up a good load with handloads for the long barrel, you should be able to work up a handload for the short barrel with the same accuracy, but it most likely would not be the exact same load. I think some factory load should still be able to meet your needs though. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
