[QUOTE="vintec, post: 257446, member: 10265"] I was a range one time and some shooters had old bed sheets in front of thier muzzels to prove to someone in thier group that the powder wasnt all burning. I never really thought about it at the time. But after reading this post I would think that the total inner volume of the barrel, would be a big part in how much powder is burnt. The larger the bore and longer the barrel the greater volume. So both of your sources could be correct. Just roughfully speaking a 24" long .25"dia barrel would have the about the same volume as a 13" long .338" dia barrel. (check my math mabye a little off). To many varibles to calculate. We should send this to the myth busters. [/QUOTE]
