I posted this in the bolt rifles section and didn't get much response, so I'll try it over here. I'm building up a short barreled 243 probably 20"-22" and will be shooting the heavy bullets (hopefully the dtacs). Can anyone tell me what velocities I can expect? Thanks in advance.

Excellent. I have a 26" barrel and want to cut it down to 22" to make it handier. I'm getting 2960 fps with 105's vld using H1000, and 3050 with H4350 same bullet.

From an 18 I get 2750 from 41 gr of I4350 and 2830 with 41 gr of rl17. I am waiting for summer to bump the RL17 load up a bit so it may do better. 105 Amax
