Interesting.

Looking at some ballistics tables, the difference between your 18" barrel (140 @ 2550) and a more typical "long" barrel (140 @ 2950) is worth about 225 yards.


"Looking at some ballistics tables," eh? Wow, I wish I'd thought of doing that before now! I'll bet I could've saved myself four decades of actually shooting schidt to figure things out. TFF.

Edited to say... Rock on, Tennessee. Enjoy your new rig. Just don't consult ballistic tables as you might be disappointed.
