[QUOTE="1894C, post: 1995564, member: 114886"] I’m calling BS on the “slow powders will yield higher velocity in shorter barrels just like long barrels. I have a 30” 300 wby that sends 215s over 3300 with rl33. Rl26 over 3200. I burned a barrel off that rifle years ago (at that time 28”) and had a spare action laying around so I took 6” off the chamber end and spun it back to a 300 wby making it just short of 22”. Back then I was shooting imr7828 and 200 accubonds Getting around 3100 FPS from the 28”. When I cut it down to 22” I was getting between 2750 and 2800 FPS with the same can of imr7828 that was a speed demon in the 28”. I changed over to rl19 with 200 grain accubonds seated .030 jump and I was getting 2,900 FPS. Shorter barrels get the most out of heavy bullets and FASTER burning powder [/QUOTE]
