The actual powder burn will be complete in just a few inches of bullet travel. The pressure, although will continue to increase as the bullet travels down the barrel up to a certain point. You will lose velocity in the 15" Encore barrel as compared to your friends Ruger #1. You're probably looking at 10-25 fps of velocity loss per inch of barrel reduction. Does it make a difference? Not really. At 300 yards the difference would probably be less than 1".

My question would be what is the twist rate (nm)
- Pacecars, 2025-02-09, 09:21
- 1 in 12 or 1 in 14 would work. I have built guns in - Gary Reeder, 2025-02-10, 16:02
- I built a 22-250 Improved for use with 65 grain bullets - Gary Reeder, 2025-02-10, 13:31
- I don't think they mess around with .22-250 rates - WB, 2025-02-10, 09:05
