I shot my brand-new 18" 1:8 Lothar-Walther barrel this morning along with my 16" 1:7.5 AA barrel. The latter has about 1000 rounds through it. With identical ammo, my chrony showed virtually identical velocities out of the 18" as with the 16," and 50-80fps faster out of the 16" with certain powders. My question: After it gets worn-in, will the 18" velocities creep upward and better the 16" a bit?:confused:
