But here's some tests anyway. The Creed fared much better than I would've thought. The heavier/longer 142 SMK only lost 101fps going from 27 to 18 inches. Case design?

The velocity figures on the Creed look low across the board though. Maybe tainted by powder selection?




Thanks for posting those links Dollar, interesting info. Haven't seen anybody do that in a while.
