[QUOTE="SENAL, post: 1802987, member: 112605"] Good god, yall gentleman and toting around howitzers! (barrels longer than 24") LMAO. My guns with a silencer are that long, so anytime I see barrel length, my brain automatically adds 7 inches or so. So Overkill338, you say 28" comfortably, I am scream holy **** thats 3FT! I can't walk around the woods with a rifle that long. I am 6'6'' tall. That type of rifle, the muzzle or silencer would be smacking squirrels nest and making all kinds of noise..... :) 2900 FPS in a 28", Not infront of the info I need but basic rule of thumb, 25fps in the 2500-2700 range per inch of barrel. Our 18" data above - in a 28" barrel = 2900-2925 FPS. I am sure we could cook up a custom load and throat a barrel a little differently. So yea its doable but this is like going from indy car racing to the salt flats of Bonneville. :) [/QUOTE]
