Oops I missed your earlier posts on chrono data. Those are pretty healthy velocities. I'll bet you get singed eyebrows though.
........LOL.......Not in the least. No singed eyebrows......Muzzle blast not as bad as many think.....
Many from the get go under estimate the MVs that can be had from the shorter barrels. Todays modern powders close the gap.You are right, and that is especially true when using heavy for caliber bullets. With light bullets, short barrels are often down on velocity just as much as people expect, but heavy bullet speeds can be a lot closer to what long barrels do than most expect. With short 308 barrels for example, I've found that 175gr bullets are often not too far behind 150gr, while there is a considerable gap between the same loads in longer barrels.
