[QUOTE="7stw, post: 733631, member: 22854"] Ed, the answer is yes and no. You can get higher velocity, just due to the longer barrel, because you have a longer " combustion chamber " if you will, but you still need to keep the pressure at or lower than 65,000 psi. Granted, that because of the heavier chamber, you COULD run higher, but the question is SHOULD you? My book says no to that. The law of diminishing returns applies here, and additionally, brass life will suffer. Another thing is, the deer won't be any deader!!!!! You can and will get more velocity from a longer barrel, with the same pressure, and all else equal. Happy Holidays my friend! [/QUOTE]
