280AI in short barrels

[Mc Fraser]

Good morning All
I'm wondering what velocities are you getting out of a short barrel with light bullets? Name the twist rate, barrel length, contour, bullet and powder please.

I believe guys are hitting 3300 FPS with 22" barrels using 140 absolute hammers. How light of a bullet do you want to use?

Hammer Hunter or Cutting Edge around 140 gr range.

Should work great. I'm putting together a 280 AI with a 24" barrel to shoot the 140 AH.
