Anyone ever tried this cartridge out in a handgun length barrel ?

I currently have one 15 3/4" Encore barrel on order with VVCG. They didn't have any Shilen blanks left at the time I made the order, so I opted to wait for the barrel blank to be ordered from Shilen. I should be getting the barrel sometime in Feb. To date I haven't heard of anyone with one. I would love to hear from someone experienced with it as well.

No I don't have one, but you will likely get velcities equal to a 257 Rob. rifle. Usually you will get 150-200fps less with the shorter barrels. But every gun is unique with it's own personality.

If I only lose 150 - 200 FPS I will be very happy!
It should be interesting to see what I actually get out of that short barrel. Even with that loss it should be an excellent round.
