[QUOTE="59FLH, post: 3058516, member: 108480"] Kinda sorta, I use longer barrels to help the efficiency of slower burning powders, think velocity in terms of pressure over time. Slower powders have potential to produce higher velocities. Large volume cases have potential to hold a larger volume of powder. More slower powder burning over a longer unit of time, typically produces higher velocities. IMO the whole point of improved cases and magnum cases is to hold larger volumes of slower burning powder. IMO it seems counter productive to shorten one of these barrels. But (and this is my big butt) sometimes it's deemed a necessary evil for reasons justified by the barrel owner. Edit: See Cary Farmer's post. Dang, I need to read and/or type faster. [/QUOTE]
