velocity loss from a 15 inch barrel

how much velocity will one lose going from a 26" encore rifle to a 15" pistol barrel with everything else being the same?

rickyp,
It's dependent on the original muzzle velocity.  Remington has info that will help you figure it out here:  http://www.remington.com/ammo/ballistics/tableinfo.htm

thanks for the link

according to the chart it should be only 110 fps slower.  no deer will miss the 110 fps from a normal shooting distance.
