madmanx Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I have a cooper 22-250AI which has a 26" barrel which i am thinking of getting cut down to 22" apart from losing around 120 FPS in velocity is there any other disadvantage to having barrel shortened?Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICK Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Steve. Now then big un. How you keeping? Drop Vermincinarator {IAN} a PM. He has just cut his 22-250 AI back to 20 inches from 26. He has lost in the region of 400 fps. I am sure he will fill you in on the rest, a top bloke. Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
