Short Barrel .22-250AI

worried about length then run a shorter can.

Worried about velocity, then use a bigger case.....

A couple of real world results....

My 25" 6x47 Lapua's load was the 108's at 3180
Cut it back to 18", & now they average 3000 even.
25.71 fps loss per inch.

I had two, 24" 22-204's that shot 80 VLD's at 3025.
Cut both back to 18", now they're at 2925.
That's only 16.67 fps loss per inch.

I built my 22x47 Lapua with an 18" Brux.
It ran 52 Bergers at 3800.

This posts is awesome, thank you for the real numbers and I’m glad to see example of a fluted barrel been cut back, I’ve considered do that too.
