[QUOTE="SeanD, post: 1266588, member: 25093"] Id figure 25fps per inch for either. I don't think the 26 will lose much more than the 4s as a short barrel. however much faster the 26 is at 26" will be pretty close to how much faster it would be if they were both 22". Read a post by Charlie Sisk years ago where he did an experiment cutting barrels down from long to short and measuring velocity for a bunch of different calibers. They all lost about 20 or 25 fps per inch regardless if they were a "magnum" or not. All of the powder is basically burned waaaay before the bullet reaches the end of the barrel. I'd build for balance/weight. [/QUOTE]
