[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1933243, member: 1521"] I'm sure that if short barrels were always better, then by now ALL guns would be short. There is another issue with barrels too short -> pressure problems. A secondary ignition at the muzzle can actually cause higher than the primary pressure peak near the chamber. This can lead to pressuring out earlier in load development. Note sample trace #3 & #5 here: [URL]https://www.shootingsoftware.com/pressure.htm[/URL] I wouldn't want to smack boat tails with that, while having any less than a stellar crown. [/QUOTE]
