[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 796392, member: 48043"] Yes boomtube, I've worked with strain guage equipement and seen the curves so I'm at least wet behind the ears on this one( btw, my sendero 7mm stw was still at 12 kpsi at the end of the barrel). If the barrel is capable of burning the powder that produced higher velocity then said powder will always be faster. I'm talking about barrels that are short enough in a given caliber that you CAN NOT burn a full charge completely. The 308 will burn a full charge- even a compressed charge-- nearly completely even in a 14" pistol barrel, so I don't think he'll see more than a 100 fps difference between a 20" and a 26" barrel-- chicken feed.
