I am curious how much velocity I will loose.
I'll post up some chrono numbers.
I'm also curious to see if my groups improve.
There was a fair amount of run out on the threads, My suppressor had a significant amount of POI shift.
Also curious to see if I can clean that up a bit so I went for it and cut it down. Hope I didn't make a huge mistake!
current velocity on the black horandy 123grn ammo was 1450ish. Any guesses what it will be with an 18" instead of 20" barrel?
post up! I should be able to chrono this weekend sometime.
You meant 2450 right?
I am getting 2477 out of my 18" Barlitien. You will probably land in the 2425 zone. Shorter than 18" the velocity drops a lot more per inch.

Good thought. You would have to swage the bullets when you were done.
I don't know what the powder coating will do to a barrel though.
