Default RE: Barrel length and velocity

mv^2 = 2as
Where mv is muzzle velocity, a is acceleration, and s is barrel length. Solve for acceleration using the loading manual data and then plug it back in using your barrel length.

Remember to convert your barrel length to feet. a=3500^2/(2*2.167) a=2826488ft/s^2
mv^2=2*2826488*2 mv=3362
