[QUOTE="edge, post: 1128751, member: 5030"] If I disregard the barrel length needed to reach velocity is there any minimum length of rifling needed to ensure stability and accuracy? For the sake of argument, I have a breech and barrel that can safely use 200kpsi and disregard muzzle blast. How long does the barrel need to be, 1", 2" or more? A different way to look at it would be a normal .338 with the rifling removed except for the last 1", 2" or more ( like a shotgun with a rifled choke tube.)? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
