2-10 enjoyers, is not having a parallax adjustment on your scope a big deal?

True, but if you start with more velocity, you'll end with more velocity. Also, that extra little bit of oomph might be what it takes to make a handload perform properly. You can download a round to match velocities from a shorter barrel. It's tougher to push 'em faster from a short barrel.

Oh I'm acutely aware of the difficulties with a short barrel!
