All I'll add is that for my uses, I don't see the point of stainless steel barrels in anything less that 16" barrels. Shorter than that and the practical accuracy (not mechanical) is not going to be a big issue for the effective range of the round at that muzzle velocity, and the stiffness of a short barrel makes the mechanical accuracy decent enough anyways.
That's my reasoning anyways. Less than 16 = blasters = chrome-lined. 16 or over = stainless, depending on application. I suppose Melonite would be good on either, too.
Is the velocity difference between 16 and 14.5 really enough to drop the mini off the stainless chart? I'd always read that the difference was minimal.
Serious question, not picking a fight.
