Default RE: ar15 ?

You are normally going to lose about 200 fps. The 55 gr. factory Winchester ammunition will make 3200 in a 20" and about 3000 in a 16". Going back and forth from .223 to 5.56 is going to affect pressures a little, and will have some affect on velocity as well - but that part of it will be minimal.
