10/22 short barrel chrony numbers please.

[shelby78]

I want to order a barrel yesterday for my 10/22 build and was wondering if anyone has chronied there 8, 12.5, or 16.5 inch barrel'd 10/22's. I want to go short but i don't want to sacrafise too much velocity. Thanks for any numbers.

Same ammo, same day, my 20" barrel was averaging 1222fps, my friends 12.5" was 1238fps. Im not an experts but i do belive 16"ish is supposed to be the optimum length for standard velicity 40grainers.

My current build has a NEA 9" barrel but I sold my chrony so not sure on velocity. Going by what "ballistics by the inch" say I figure to have 50 fps less than full length barrel using bulk ammo.
