Just in case anybody had a desire to know.. 81 grs 1.5 and the 535 M3 bullet churn out 1340 fps over the NRA chrono here at the Whittington

Don, What barrel length is that and how much of a difference do you think barrel length makes? Shoot sharp, Mike

Every inch of extra barrel length gives 2 fps in velocity. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Have you tried OE 2F ? If so was velocity much different and accuracy comparing the two? Inquiring minds need to know.

No wonder 34" barrels are so popular! Shoot sharp, Mike
