   Greetings Mrfants, From my own chronographing I would expect around 2750 fps from a 20.5 inch barrel with 140 grain Interlocks or similar. The loss from the 20.5 inch from the 22.5 inch would be...

   Without being too dogmatic, here is some info that may help… I chopped 3” and lost 90fps. So roughly 30fps per inch could be expected. For reference: In your 22inch barrel you should expect...

    Pop the sim out, put it in your phone. Call the provider and often they will have a next of kin to call. Or the contacts maybe on the sim and you can txt someone
