[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2138432, member: 95013"] I hear you - I have seen the podcast. That is what they found and it is fine. We tested this very notion with SOCOM. We didn't see a huge difference changing from 20 - 24 inch barrels (45 fps) and the shorter barrel was better for their particular need and they went with that length. I am also a HUGE fan of speed and energy when it comes to hunting rifles. Faster and harder the better. The animal deserves it, especially at longer distances where it might take a step or two in the time a bullet takes to travel 1000 yards. I am not trying to save barrel life with my hunting rifles, so if I have a node that is 200 fps faster and just as accurate as a lower node, I go with the higher velocity. [/QUOTE]
