Taking a .308 bolt loaded with typical rounds (155gr, or 168gr) charged with usual powders (N140, Varget or the like) achieving typical velocities of 2750 ish FPS from a 26", what kind of velocity drop or gain would you get per inch of barrel.
I ask this because I am mentally comparing the likes of my own CZ550 Varmint 26" (25.6") from which I can get performance like that above with a 155gr bullet, compared to carbine rifles such as Rem 700 Carbines or the Ruger Scout.
