    Anything shorter than 20 inches will sacrafice velocity.
    That being said I like 16 inch barrels.Use a Wilson SS Bull with a Wylde chamber, you will be very pleased.

    It's a very minimal amount of velocity that is lost. It's actually worth losing the extra 4" of clumsy barrel for the small amount of velocity.

    This is an 11.5" barrel and it does fine at 100yds. Will kill more than paper too ;)
