[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 517230, member: 1521"] The problem with a ton of very slow powder in a short barrel, is that a significant amount of that powder will not burn INSIDE the bore. It just creates a helluva fireball off the muzzle that hurts accuracy like a bad crown. Does it really make sense to use a short barrel for 'long range hunting of LARGE game'? Not to me. The best/extreme example of what I'm talking about is with a barrett light 50. Don't take long with one of these to declare it the worlds most inaccurate LR gun! [/QUOTE]
