[QUOTE="Nabob77, post: 462076, member: 29764"] Hi again Michael 1. With the 308 in mind, I was wondering to what degree does one adjust the loads with powder, primers and grain of bullet and twist for different lenght of barrels...? I' prefer the heavy end of bullet weight and probably thinking along the lines of 1 in 10" twist, unless you think there are additional considerations. 2. And how does the length of the barrel affect the velocity, and accuracy...? 3. And as a barrel gets longer does that imply the need for a heavier contour barrel? I suppose I'm thinking that at some point a given barrel lenght might be more considered an "acceptable" practical hunting rifle; where after a certain length of barrel we would be definitately referring more to a Long Range Rifle. So for practical reasons I will refer to an even number of inches for barrel lengths, as most of what I have seen on various Rifle internet sites usually shows an even number for barrel lengths. So, with this in mind, the following suggested barrel lengths may be the simplest way for you to address this question. For example starting with a 20 inch barrel then a 22", 24", 26" 28" and 30" which seems to be the longest sold by some factory guns out there like Savage and Browning. (Although I'm sure someone has made one longer). Generally, How does the length affect all of the areas of performance that I have mentioned above...? Your comments are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
