			It is interesting, and you are right: it means very little.   
 
What is equally interesting is that it MIGHT have gone the other way - the longer barrel may have been the slower one.  
 
That 670 does seem to be awfully slow, though.  If all were equal a 100+ fps loss for an inch and a half is a bunch.  But all things aren't equal, are they?  That 670 is newer and might not be as smooth as your 700.  It may also be a bit looser in bore and/or chamber.   
 
Put a few hundred rounds down that 670, and he might see the speeds coming up a bit.  Or not.  As you seemed to be saying, "Ya just never know, do ya?"
