I have a twenty inch barrel and run about 2950 fps with an eighty five grain bullet. I'm not loading max with either LVR or CFE 223. LVR gives me about 25 to 50 fps more velocity. A 22 inch barrel may up my velocity by 25 to 50 fps. Every barrel is different. I like my 20" barrel because I carry the rifle in my truck a lot and it is a little easier to move it around in a hurry. All depends on what you need.
