Thread: Shorter barrel = less velocity?

Mine's 18" and was losing 150-170fps from what it said on the back from factory loads, 150 winchesters were getting 2650. wouldn't expect more than 2700 from the fusions.

What he said, i be amazed if it was getting more than 2700fps. Expect it somewhere in the 2600-2700 range. Normally tested in 24 inch barrels, will struggle to be dead on what the box states minus 25-38fps per inch chopped depending on the rifle .(150-230fps lost)
