[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1873586, member: 104268"] I can't supply any more definitive sources than "a ton of posts", but my understanding is that until you get to the extremes (e.g. pistol length rifles, or rifle length pistols), there's no significant difference in behavior. As bigedp51 states, the burn rate that gives the fastest velocity in a particular cartridge will do so regardless of barrel length. For example, if H1000 is faster than H4350 in a 26" 243 Win for a particular bullet, it will also be faster in an 18" 243 Win. [/QUOTE]
