Anyone shorten their TRG-22 to 22" or 20"? If you have how did it affect velocity and the max range you can shoot at?

I'm going tohave the end of muzzle cut and have it threaded in SAE so I can attach my suppressor to it. Suppressor is 9.3" long.
 
I had mine cut to 22" and added a Badger Thruster brake. Average velocities as follows:

FGMM 168gr - 2640
Applied Ballistics 175gr OTM - 2568
Setpoint Ammo Custom - 2585
(Berger 175gr OTM / Lapua / 210M / 44gr Varget / 2.8")
 
That's why smart people buy their TRG 22 with factory 20" barrel!! No cutting no mess!! and they come ready for your can !! Now if we were talking about a 42 338 lapua then that would be something totally different....
