Zee,
is that the same load for both guns? how much velocity do you lose from rifle to pistol barrel?
I was incorrect on the pistol length. I just checked and it?s 12 inches instead or 14 inches. The rifle barrel is 24 inches.
The 200gr FTX load with 48.5gr H4895 gets 2,646 fps out of the rifle and 2,326 fps out of the pistol. So, 12 inches difference in barrel length equates to 320 fps difference in velocity.
I also have a 200gr Hornady RN load using the same 48.5gr powder charge that moves at 2,271 fps from the paltry 12in barrel.
