[QUOTE="jhibbard24, post: 767223, member: 25072"] go for it ..... the shorter barrel that is. work with you smith and log all data and records of velocities and loads and let us know. like you said, there is no set rule of thumb for exact velocity loss per inch of barrel lost. it is all determined by that cartridge and how efficient of a design it is. I bet you would be happy with a 23" hell, look at the .308s out there with 20" barrels that shoot bugholes and are at the average speeds for that round [/QUOTE]
