Twins

[brockel]

Two tikka 22-250s cut to 17” and threaded. One will be for day calling and one for night calling Top one I have load data for already when it was a 22” barrel. What do you guys think my velocity loss is going to be?

 

[noharleyyet]

Maybe 175-180 fps

I love a good set of twins.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Selling them as a set? Or looking to break them up?

 

[Dan O]

Close to 200 fps loss.

 

[brockel]

I’m going to say 120fps. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to see

[ImBillT]

130-145fps would be my guess.

 

[JLS]

^^ this

 

[p_ham]

120-140

 

[brockel]

Lost 137fps. I’ll take that. Shooting a 52grain hornady hp at 3681fps right now. Will see what the thermal rifle does when the thermal shows up. Might try some hammers in my daytime calling rifle

I would have expected a lot more fps lost than that.

I would have expected a lot more fps lost than that.

Anymore I’m leaning to shorter and shorter barrels. Thought about having it ackleyed when I had it over there to cut the barrel down but didn’t. Would have almost made up for the velocity loss

 

[Mallardsx2]

Not enough to worry about.

I only lost 124fps going from a 22" to a 16" in my 260rem, I couldn't believe it. Granted I am shooting absolute hammers and faster powder, but still I was expecting much greater difference. Super jealous of your Tikkas, looking great.

I read that going from 24 to 22" loses about 75fps & interpolated from there. I would have guessed mohel'ing 5" (22 to 17") would've been more...

But it's brockel & well, you know . . . #emasculationproof.

 

[Ben Lamb]

You've ruined everything.

 

[Schism]

What powder are you using?

I cut wife’s creedbro for 24-20 and lost 70fps
