[QUOTE="375rifleman, post: 1117167, member: 80454"] Well as far as bullet type I was going to go with the high BC Cutting Edge, Barnes, or other high BC copper or brass bullets. As far as barrel length which I think will have the worst deregration on the cartridges I selected to compare will be SHORT 16.5" to 20" I do realize that this will slow velocities down quite a bit because most velocity tests were done with a 24" or 26" barrel length if someone cuts the barrel back by 9.5" to 6" even if you only lose 25 FPS per inch will be a 237.5 FPS to 150 FPS loss but if it's 50 FPS loss per inch it will be 475 FPS 300 FPS I could Ackley Improve the cartridge but the gain will probably be minimal considering. Thanks [/QUOTE]
