[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 832155, member: 1521"] It depends on the cartridge, bore capacity AND the amount of what powder to burn. Following previous example a .358WSM would also lose higher rate in shortening of a barrel. Also, IMO, insufficient length for what you can burn is a bad effort. Did the magazine mention muzzle pressures or of slapping the back of boat tail bullets with excess pressures? You know, a great big ole fireball that knocks your hat back, ain't good for accuracy. Better to burn the powder INSIDE the barrel. [/QUOTE]
