[QUOTE="Hard Head, post: 3063508, member: 91079"] I have read 2 articles about barrel cut of ,I believe one was a 30 " and 1 a 32", anyway they were marked and cut off 1 " at a time,the surprising read was at 28 or 29 the velocity was a little faster than the original length,these guys were chopping a .338 Lapua ,now that's a high intensity cartridge,I know I had 2 of them, and as thought they burn a very large powder charge one was a 30" they other 24" the velocity between the 2 with the same load was 132 fps not much considering every one always said "OH it will be slow,not so. The other thing in the read was some of the 1" cuts only yielded about 19 fps difference. while the most accurate burn rate, velocity and accuracy came at 24-26 ", the difference between my Lapuas from one to the other was 5#'s ,never again will I own a rifle that is not a joy to hunt with; Now if you hunt farm land where you walk out to a tree stand or blind then you can take that pluming pipe out there ,it will kill it dead but so will the 45/70 or the 30/ 30.
