According to CCI both are loaded to the same velocity with the same bullet.
I was using the long version and the beaver were paying for the birth of my son who is now 23.
I also seriously doubt that they were loaded to 710 fs as the current crop is though they might have been since this is what Barnes lists in my old (1980s) version of "Cartridges of The World". He also notes that both the long and short case versions were being produced and as I recall both appeared here at the same time circa early 80s.
I tried them because they were quiet and in this case I was doing control work near the land owners house.
