[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 799771, member: 1521"] Is the barrel long enough for what? Same or higher velocity from more slower powder? Accuracy that doesn't degrade from excess muzzle pressures? It starts with a bullet, it's weight and twist requirements, and case capacity needed combined with given powders to drive the bullet to needed MVs. While shorter barrels are stiffer -all else equal, internal ballistics is still a dominant contributor to result. While I couldn't prove it, I'm sure there are better barrel lengths than others for each internal ballistic combination and application. But it would be a massive undertaking to produce a formula that passes all tests. We won't see it in our lifetimes. In otherwords,, try it & see [/QUOTE]
