[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1524148, member: 11960"] This depends on the specific powder used more than the barrel length. I can burn 75gr of H4350 or H100-v in an 18" barrel with minimal muzzle flash and 140gr of H50BMG with less muzzle flash than most 26" 300 Win Mags using any powder. Some powders just produce less muzzle flash than others, and it's not dependent on burn rate. Under what circumstances are you seeing these results? I know we've gone round and round on this before, but in all my work with short barreled (17-20") specialty pistols chambered for magnum rifle cartidges this has never been true. What specific cartridges/barrel lengths were you using and what powder/bullets were you using? To the OP, just cut the barrel to whatever length you want and have fun. Unless you're really looking to hunt out past 800 yards I doubt you'd notice the difference. [/QUOTE]
