Suggest a little [url]www.ammo-oracle.com[/url] reading is in order for ya.....
Check out: [blue]Q. At what range will M193 fragment? How about M855?[/blue] In general about 30-40 fps IIRC, but the fragment range above and several other topics will be of interest to ya more than likely if your comparing the 2 barrel lengths. Mike |

There is a significant decrease in the range at which the round will fragment out of a 14.5 v. 16, it's detailed further in the Oracle.

Fragmentation range differences is much less the heavier bullet you use. 75-75 grain bullets in a 1-7 twist there would be little difference compared to 16 inch. In 55/62 grain ammo, there is a much higher difference 14.5 vs 16.

Quoted: Just a quick question: what is the differences between 14.5" and 16" barrels, Thanks! 1.5", (I couldn't help it [;D]) |

Keep in mind a 14.5" 1/7 twist barrel using 77 grain Mk 262 ammo will fragment to the same ranges as a 16" 1/9 twist barrel using 55 grain M193 ammo but the Mk 262 from the 14.5" barrel will have larger wound channels at all ranges.
