Shortening a 6.5JDJ barrel?
« on: May 22, 2003, 02:39:59 AM »
I have a 14" 6.5JDJ barrel. Nice caliber. The only thing I don't like is that the barrel is too long for my taste in handguns.  Have you tried shortening one to 12"?   If so, what was the difference in velocity?  Thanks.

:D I have compaired the same handloads in a couple of different bbl. lengths and I get an average vel. change of about 50 fps/inch.
