I just purchased an MRI Lone Eagle handgun in 444 Marlin, and I'm wondering what kind of energy and velocity I will really be getting. It is a rotary breech, so there is no gas loss like a revolver.
They say barrel length is 14", but I think that is with chamber included. So, we'll say it has a 12" barrel.
I'll be shooting Hornady Leverevolution ammo, which is a 265gr at a claimed 2325fps from a rifle barrel, I assume of 24".
At half that barrel length, what sort of velocity do you think I will really achieve with this pistol? I know I really need to shoot through a chronograph, but I am just curious right now since I do not have it in hand.
Thanks.
