[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 792903, member: 30902"] That is true with some calibers but not with the big magnums. We have very large to huge case capacities and shoot slower burning powders than most folks so the extra inches of barrel really do have a real benefit for us where they don't for most folks. The longer length gives you more time to burn up that large volume of slow burning powder reducing recoil, muzzle blast, and increasing velocity. Yes, even with the big magnums there is a point of diminishing returns but I really don't think you reach that point until you hit about 30". [/QUOTE]
