[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2100484, member: 108323"] Considering only pressure and velocity the bullet will continue to accelerate until the force exerted by the gas pressure equals the frictional and drag forces acting on the bullet. The length varies for each caliber and bullet type as well as powder and for all practical purposes is longer than the barrel lengths that are manageable. For practical considerations a shoulder fired rifle in excess of 10lbs begins to become unmanageable, and longer barrels also unbalance the weapon making it muzzle heavy. So in practice the most efficient length is determined by factors unrelated to the velociy/pressure relationship. [/QUOTE]
