[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2216227, member: 117774"] When using a shorter barrel, a heavier bullet will allow more of the powder to burn more completely before the bullet exits the barrel. For one, it has more bearing surface and has a little more resistance as it travels down the barrel. Also, the weight of the bullet provides a little more resistance against the pressure build as the powder ignites and forces the bullet down the barrel. Therefore a heavier bullet is a little more "efficient" in s short barrel for caliber cartridge. [/QUOTE]
