Quite frankly the 55 at 3300 from a 20 seemed to be fairly effective as far as I can find. Why did we shorten the barrel to 14.5 inches, and start shooting heavier bullets? One wonders if a 55 grain gold dot from a 20 inch barrel would be more effective than a 77 grain MK from a 14.5 inch barrel out to 2-300 yards?


Everything is "more effective" out of a 20. Hopefully that answers your question
