[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1868479, member: 13833"] depends on how tight. Just right is fastest. Too tight raises pressure with more friction and too loose may not seal the bore well losing velocity. Bullets are normally very close to bore size. A tighter bore may get more velocity with the same charge than a looser one but may over pressure before full potential is reached. Whether too tight or too loose, its measured in .0001" Generally speaking, a little tight will be more accurate and a little loose will be a little faster. [/QUOTE]
