[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1482285, member: 8873"] It should be faster compared to if that same barrel was shorter, however it may not be faster than another rifle's 24 or 26" barrel. What I mean is that some barrels are faster than others, or slower. Couple examples: I had a factory 7mm RemMag Savage 112 with a 26" barrel that had a slow barrel, I could only get the 162 and 168 grain bullets up to velocity that most .280's would get. My last 26" .338 RUM barrel would reach the same velocities as my 30" .338 Edge. [/QUOTE]
