[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 480038, member: 13"] Since I do not have any rifles, all of my LR rigs are single-shot specialty handguns with barrels from 15 inches to just under 18 inches. I have chamberings from the 223 Rem. to the 338 Lapua Improved (338 AX). I routinely shoot out to 1200 yards on steel with these handguns, and sometimes further. I would would guesstimate about 40 fps per inch,but 35 fps per inch may be closer. I assume I will lose about 300 fps compared to typical rifle lengths. I do not use the faster powders. Example 6-284 with 115 DTACs - H-4831sc 6.5-284 H-4350 (140 VLD's) and sometimes Hybrid 100V 284 Win (140 NBT) H-4831sc 7mm Rem Mag Imp (180 JLK) H-1000 6.5 WSM (130 Berger) H-1000 7mm Dakota (200 gr. Wildcat) Retumbo 338 AX Retumbo (300 grain SMK or Berger) 7mm SAUM H-1000 (162 A-Max) [/QUOTE]
