[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2358664, member: 118816"] As I mentioned there would be a lot of discussion here. My only response to this is that I have in fact used a chronograph to check the differences in barrel lengths on the muzzle velocity of 20 and 24 inch barrels, notably on two .308's, Using Federal Premium 165 gr Nosler Accubond ammo. There was nothing hand loaded. The velocity from the 24 inch .308 was chronographed at 2675 fps., slightly lower than advertised. From the 20 inch barrel it was down to 2350 which is over 325 fps difference. 325 fps will definitely make a big difference at longer ranges. I have not had the opportunity to check the difference in db levels between a un-suppressed and suppressed rifles so cannot accurately report on the effectiveness, however the supersonic bullet travel remains the same, at long range the bullet will hit long before the sound reaches the animal, I expect more derogatory remarks, but please before you comment make sure of the accuracy of your data, not simply what you think.
