[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 93159, member: 3745"] Bart B. The way I got the .00072 number is as follows. 3000fps X 12(inches in a foot)=36000 inches per second. 26 inches divided by 36000 = .00072 seconds. Actually that number is technically incorrect, but I felt it was close enough for our discussion. You are correct that the bullet is accelerating as it travels the 26" length of the barrel. Starting at 0fps and exiting at 3000fps. So, the actual time would be more than .00072 seconds..........but not much! Buffalobob, Thanks for weighing in on the subject.

Everyone just seemed to enjoy the discussion and try to learn something. And as usual on this site someone who really knows what he is talking about steps in provides the answer.....Thanks!
