[QUOTE="gemihur, post: 1640648, member: 59976"] Shooting contenders for many years has made me very conscientious as to the length of barrels I use (usually shorter than normal) and, of course, the chamber pressures that will be experienced relative to the velocities I might expect from a given load. I've read and researched many articles and studies that would lead one to believe that approximately [B]25 FPS[/B] will be lost or gained by [B]each inch[/B] of barrel length. This one is a pretty good one relating to longer barrels. [URL]https://honors.usf.edu/documents/Thesis/U82488180.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
