Rifle is .22 cal, will be shortening the barrel tomorrow. The gun is a Hatsan Flash. What can i realistically expect as far as velocity from a 13" barrel?
Thanks

Max Velocity of a 13" barrel?

Find out what speed you're getting at x length of barrel. Subtract 15-20fps per inch you cut off, that should get you close.

Honestly, probably a lot. I did some testing with my fx Crown, and I was able to squeeze 800fps out of 7" without really trying. I also have a 7.6" barreled .22 pistol that would get into the mid 800s at max power.
I recon it should be no real issue to do 850 with a reasonable tune. I'm sure you could do more, too.

How is the accuracy on the 7.6 barrel at 800+fps? One of my most accurate Crosman barrels, a 14 inch .22, shot great at 630fps but anything over that it was totally worthless.
I think that was the barrel I ended up switching the crown end for the chamber as the chamber end was too tight and it shot horribly until I changed it around.

You should be able to get the same speed you were getting before the cut. Just know you will use more air per shot to get the same speed

with my dream tac compact 22 cal i went from the 320 mm barrel to the 500 mm barrel and picked up 120 fps with the same pellet so basically i gained 17 FPS per inch of barrel or per 25 mm of barrel

Honestly have no idea, lol. I have that gun de-tuned to 550fps with 16gr's. It's extremely quiet and has a trully ridiculous shot count (for a pistol)
Some day I'll do more testing with it.

hatsan barrels are choked, depending on the pellets you are using, you may need to have a larger pellet to keep performance... I know my Hatsan Gladius is a 0.213 at the muzzle (0.215 wouldn't fit), based on the tools I used to recrown it...
