[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 3057931, member: 105694"] Some decisions are based on range, weight (total firearm) and possibly bullet weights? Maybe some have found there isn't enough difference or gain/loss in velocity? Without a chrono I have no idea on changes in velocity? Being on this forum for some time now there are odd people (the 1's that like odd numbered lengths)? For some reason I'm not 1 or have shot any rifle with an odd length? Why some have 14" barrels for long action magnum cartridges gets me questioning why? Maybe there's a sweet spot with little loss of velocity? This may pertain to those custom rifle builders as few offer odd length barrels from factory? What thoughts do you have about length decisions? [/QUOTE]
