Velocity from a 20" barrel may not be much different, especially if they are using a fast burning propellant designed to burn in a shorter barrel. Of course one gun isn't always equal to another and short of running a chrono with your rifle it's only a guess.

.357 Magnum Ballistics from a 20" Barrel

Anybody know the ballistics, i.e., velocity and muzzle energy, of the Hornady 140 Flextip .357 Magnum round from a 20" rifle barrel out to 100 yards?

Thanks,

Crash
