Here are some 12”, 16”, 17.6”, and 18” velocities for reference:

12” Faxon Group Buy Barrels
90gr TNT 2683fps
120gr Federal OTM 2384fps

16” AA barrel
123gr Scenar 2452fps
123gr A-MAX 2439fps
120gr SMK 2470fps

17.6” Lilja Grendel
90gr TNT 2893fps (10 shot sample)
120gr Federal OTM 2484fps (20 shot sample)
120gr Scenar-L 2511fps
123gr SST 2457fps

18” LaRue Stealth Rifle
123gr Hornady American Gunner 2441fps
123gr A-MAX on 31.2gr CFE223 2519fps

Not a big difference in velocities between 12” to 18”, as you can see. 10.5” drops off a bit more, but still kills just fine within common hunting ranges.
