I have a savage 111 in 30-06 with a 22” barrel that I’m thinking about sending off to my smith to have the barrel shortened & threaded to 18”. My question is what kind of velocity loss will I get with loosing 4” of barrel? I have a chrono but I have never done velocity checks from a 22” to 18” barrel. What are your all thoughts & experiences? Looking for answers from those who actually have short barreled 06s. Thanks
My shots up in the northeast are short so 400yard shots are non existent unless I hunt power lines
