[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 837483, member: 41122"] Rusty rick, your logic is sound, but maybe you can try to see this from another view. Very few rifles actually burn all the powder before the bullet leaves the barrel. Thus the muzzle flash. Most reloaders dont worry about this but are more concerned with the overall performance of how their reloading componets work together. Like bart said, a consistant pressure curve that moves the bullets into the rifling and down the bore in a speedy, safe and consistant matter is where accuraccy and speed come from. A longer barrel is like a plus because you can stretch that pressure out and get a little more speed for a given load. I personally dont care how much powder i burn outside the barrel, so long as i get good consistant velocities without over pressure. [/QUOTE]
