    accuracy doesn't need a long barrel, often guns get more accurate with shortened barrels. velocity does suffer if you plan to go to 400m I wouldn't go any shorter than 20 inches, thats without running the numbers thru a ballistic calculator. someone with one might do it for you tho.

    what bullets do you use eg. federal 130 gr blue box?
    how long is your barrel at the moment?
