[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 777073, member: 12995"] You misunderstood....The bullet SPINS faster from a longer barrel BECAUSE there is more time it is touching the rifling and being acted upon by the rifling force for stabilization purposes. The rifling actually slows the bullet down slightly other than if it were a smooth-bore gun, b/c the rifling is actually biting into the bullet's jacket. So rifling has a very very miniscule affect on the velocity. [/QUOTE]
