Never really messed with shorter barrels before but starting to. (16" 6.5cm)

Initially not impressed with accuracy using ammo I loaded for my 26" 6.5CM.

I know it will be was down on Velocity (getting about 2550 instead of the 2800+ I was getting).

I got wondering about how much velocity you really need to stabilize 123gr and 140 gr.
I know I won't be able to get the velocities I achieved before without being way over pressure.

Curious how diff people's loads are for shorter barrels vs longer and effect on accuracy?
