[QUOTE="MtnMann, post: 2441860, member: 113169"] Barrel was ported by a local gunsmith prior. I have attached a photo of the porting in the original post if that helps. The porting ends approximately 1.5" from the muzzle. My understanding is that having a ported barrel decreases velocity when compared to a non-ported barrel at the same length. Exactly how much of a decrease in velocity, I would assume depends on the style of porting. That being said, from my research a muzzle break should not decrease velocity compared to a non braked barrel at the same length. Thus, my question is would shortening the barrel by less than 2 inches and putting on a more effective brake thereby providing better recoil reduction while having a minimal impact on velocity?
