[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2439617, member: 88320"] Yeah I don’t believe there is much to matching barrel length with burn rates on powders. Usually the powder that gives the best velocity will still be the best powder with short or long barrels. The statement the “slower burning powders”doesn’t fully burn in short barrels isnt really true. What really happens is the gases are trapped for less distances In a short barrel than in a long barrel so you just aren’t taking advantage of all the energy created by the burned powder. matching bullet weights to burn rate or a powder is valid.
