[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1677824, member: 11960"] What load were you shooting? I was getting 2670 fps from a 19" barreled 260 Rem specialty pistol using 43.1gr H100v and a 140gr VLD at 2.850". That's not a light charge but it's certainly not blowing primers. Just look at the velocities for chamberings out of longer barrels and then knock off 30 fps for every inch of barrel shorter than the tested velocities. If the velocity given is from a 30" barrel and you're running a 20" just knock 300 fps off. It won't be 100% accurate but it will get you pretty close. I've found that I typically only loose around 20 fps per inch in 308 sized cases. [/QUOTE]
