[QUOTE="mcali2, post: 1573486, member: 108796"] Yes and NO. You need to look at the Cal V barrel length test done by others. Some bullets will go faster in a shorter barrel. There is a tipping point where speed goes down and Some long barrels are just past that number. I also imagine there is room to reload to use the extra barrel but that requires work. I cut my 17 HMR down from 22" to 19" and gained 150 FPS, I don't know if the can has increased the speed much as i have not tested it but I think I will go do some now. Adding the suppressor adds speed but how much is going to depend on the equipment used. [/QUOTE]
