[QUOTE="Agunner012, post: 165388, member: 1500"] Interesting about the powder being burnt in the first few inches. I can't for the life of me remember where I read this but: Some of the big magnums don't burn all the powder in short barrels 26" and under. If you hang a white sheet several feet in front of a big magnum and shoot through it the un-burnt powder will collect on the sheet. If you increase the length of the barrel and do the same test you will see less un-burnt powder or none all at. The less un-burnt powder the more efficient use of that powder. HTH AG [/QUOTE]
