[QUOTE="Gene, post: 479130, member: 7402"] Some time ago I saw an experiment where a smith did this, removed one inch of barrel at a time, and reported an average loss of 25 fps per inch. There are variables. I like short 20" barrels , for BR rifles out to 300 yds., because, generally - they balance better and the vibration nodes are shorter. Beyond that distance, I feel the added velocity is an advantage, and prefer 26" barrels. [/QUOTE]
