[QUOTE="southpa, post: 3058542, member: 65823"] This☝️☝️☝️ I understand the premise behind larger calibers using slower powders in longer barrels and overbores BUT, It's not like we are using different powders because of a shorter barrel. Take for instance a 300 winnie or a 7RM...I'm going to use H1k and Tumbo in those chamberings no matter what the barrel length is. Like I said before, powder burn rate makes little difference to me with regards to barrel length.

I would deff not be running a long pipe in a 28 Noz because I could likely get a 195 to 3050fps in a short barrel. I see no advantage of running a 28"-30" over a 26".
