[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 804626, member: 15748"] CB11WYO, No, that's not what I was saying. You can get some very good ideas about what will happen in specific instances, when you're talking about a given caliber, a particular bullet weight and a certain powder. In your original post, the question you asked was just asked too broadly. You CAN get a pretty good idea of what barrel length variations will do to a load, but you need to be very specific about the components involved in that particular instance. Simply saying that an increase of X will increase or decrease velocity Y fps (regardless of caliber, bullet weight, etc., etc.,) just can't be answered accurately. Hope that clarifies it a bit, and didn't mean to discourage you from asking. [/QUOTE]
