Ruger American Gen 2 Chronographed – Does the Shorter Barrel Matter???
Many people are complaining about the short barrel length of the new Gen 2 Ruger Americans (myself included). Lets see how much affect the shorter barrel has on the boolot speeds.

Pretty sure you already have but have you seen the new Ruger Predator Gen 2. They have the 22 inch barrel with brake. Cool color also.
What Camera do you use?
Predator is coming out with a 22 inch barrel, wait on it.
There's no such thing as a silencer it's a suppressor
Would like to see how that does with the 180 ELDs Hornady considering that rifle has a 1-8.5 twist. You'll have to load some.
Any speeds out of this rifle in 6.5 creedmoor???
Sir, I love your videos, I was wondering if you could do a long range test with your Ruger American Gen II in 7mm-08, say out to 600 yds.. all the videos on this caliber have been great and I am really thinking of picking one up. Thanks, Don
Great intel brother. And heck yes that Arken SH4 are sweet! Dude i had no idea you were a arken affiliate with discount. Thanks. Buying a New SH4J 6-24 for my new Savage axis 6.5 creed build
Does the suppressor slow it down any ?
Love the rifle , the two piece stock just kills the looks
Velocity doesn't matter in reality for 90% hunters shooting less than 300 yds
Cool good info Hey to Paul Jr. ✌
Very impressive velocities but I’m pretty choked to see the spread in that Remington Ammo
I bought a .243 at Ky gun yesterday..
Your content is absolutely amazing, I have to say I’m impressed with all of your work, finds and to share it with us . I can’t say thank you enough. All your content is very helpful to all of us from the average person to the knowledgeable people involved in this great hobby / living . Cheers 🇨🇦
The 223 coming in an 1/8 twist is sweet
Still smokin’ em out.
What's the difference in a 7mm and a 7mm08?
Faster than I expected
❤❤❤❤❤
The can is giving you an increased barrel length as well. Maybe chrono it with out the can on it?? Just saying.
you ever watch that youtube video where the guy cuts 1 inch off at a time and records the speeds ?
What height rings where you running on this setup if you don't mind me asking?
When you go to reload the 7/08 i got best velocity with rel19 and H4350 and also 748 but maybe faster powder might be worth a shot maybe re15 or varget try it
Try the same test without the can and see how much of an impact that will have on the velocity 😊
You should do that without the can on the front.
Does it come with a thread protector, like most threaded barrels. I'm not a fan of muzzle brakes and I don't own a can to put on it.
Take the can off and check the velocity
Need to see testing video of the stevens 334.
Im shorter barrel kinda a guy. I cut and threaded my gen 1 ruger american in 270 to 20" because i wanted a quicker, lighter and shorter barrel to put a suppressor on it. I didnt have a huge drop in velocity. It all depends on the cartridge and how much you lose. Its also good to know your minimum expansion velocity on the bullets your shooting and the velocity to get your max hunting range.
These new rifles are super tempting. How much of a difference does the supressor make? I'd be curious to see what the fps values are with it removed and everything else the same.
So I have this exact chrono and am curious, after plugging in all your data into your ballistic app and shooting at distance to verify FPS and BC how much is your chrono actually off? I've found mine to consistently read low versus what my app (strelok pro) tells me. It's been the same on multiple of mine so far. Curious of your results
Will the stock and mag fit on the old ruger and work ? Has anyone tried this yet
