[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1611890, member: 11960"] What method did you use to calculate your "a bunch" value? I'm not certain that "a bunch" even qualifies for the term value though. Velocity loss per inch of barrel is not directly connected to % of powder burned. Velocity loss per inch of barrel is a pretty linear value which is why labs who provide pressure tested load data can give an approximate value of velocity lost per inch of barrel for a give cartridge. More importantly though, the majority of shooters are just concerned with real world results. Very few people really worry about if they're operating at 98% efficiency instead of 99.6%. They're more concerned with whether or not they can get a 140gr bullet to 2700 fps or higher in a 22" barrel because that's the performance they're looking for. Efficiency looks good on paper, performance looks good in the field. [/QUOTE]
