barrrel length fpc ?
« on: February 03, 2009, 07:43:43 PM »
Does anyone know about what the fps difference is in an 16.25" to 18" barrel and a 22" barrel from a 1895/1895g with the HLE ammo. Thanks guys, Gary

On a 45 caliber bullet i hear the variation is about 20fps.  The ammo was probably tested in a 24" barrel and velocity bumped up a little in the favor of the manufacturer.  The box I had said 2050fps if I remember right, so in an 18" barrel you will be shooting about 1970fps give or take.

About 20 to 25 fps per inch.  Not much difference on the 16 to 18"  but 125 to 150 FPS on the 16 to 22'.
