[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 1989061, member: 25831"] Just do it...Then send the info to Nike. (I like short barrels too). Not for mountain top to mountain top, but in the woods...yup! Seriously, you will only know and or be happy until you do it. Buy 150gr factory loads. I would imagine they will be loaded with a faster powder for the lighter pills. Probably not going to get the range you want with the lighter pills, but shooting the heavier ones, like mentioned, you may not fully burn the powder. Below is from Barnes Vortx line. (I would not shoot this to 800 yards as my primary but to each their own). Subtract 150 FPS and see if it meets your needs.
