[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 926753, member: 28191"] In my experience, most factory barrels are a bit on the slow side, especially the less expensive ones. A gun that's not built to tight tolerances can possibly create high pressure situations, so manufacturers tend to adjust the dimensions so the tolerances produce guns unlikely to produce overpressures. The combinations of loose chambers, long throats, and bore sizes on the large side tend to produce less than peak chamber pressures which in turn produce lower velocities. [/QUOTE]
