[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1066596, member: 48043"] We are running a 300wsm and a 22-250 from 14" savage striker pistols. Expect around a 400 fps velocity loss from the shorter barrel in a relatively overbore round like these. The only cartridge I haven't found a loss in velocity with a shorter than normal barrel so far is the 35 Remington. I was netting the same 2100 fps from a 200gr bullet in a 14" barrel years back that the rifles normally produce. As a rule, the more overbore, the more velocity loss. Mike is correct on looking for a low muzzle pressure for bullet release. However, this can also be accomplished by using a slightly faster than normal powder. I also like to light the fire with about as much primer as I can in a short barrel to get things going well quickly. [/QUOTE]
