[QUOTE="Handgunner, post: 1285498, member: 100530"] I'm using a Remington xp100R with a 14 inch barrel (maybe 15, conflicting specs. Never bothered to measure it.) The only load I checked for velocities was a Sierra 120 grain pro hunter with 39 grains of varget for 2630 fps. It will shoot sub MOA. Short barrels are stiff. H4831 does make an impressive fireball. The biggest problem I have is stabilizing boat tails. I read it might be due to the higher muzzle pressures. Anyway, yes, faster powders do work better in shorter barrels. I have tried 4831, 4350, 414, and varget. I'm sticking with varget. The muzzle blast and flash are slightly reduced and the velocity loss to the shorter barrel is less. Hope this helps someone.
