That's probably pretty close considering every barrel, bullet, and powder combo is different.

I can tell you for a fact that I lost 140fps when I cut a Pac-Nor SS SM 9twist down to 22" from 24".
That was with N140 and Nagel 25's.
It was worth it though as that shorter barrel's so much handier for walking around rig.

Matter of fact, I like it almost as much as my CZ 17FB. Almost:)
