I did a science project focusing on barrel length with the 6.5 Grendel and found something like 18fps per inch difference between various 16" and 20" rifles shooting the same loads, so roughly 76fps mv difference between a 16" and a 20".
76fps isnt even worth worrying about either. Wont make much difference will it?
