[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1128797, member: 2736"] First, Brass will not handle that king of pressure without failure. Barrel length needs to be long enough to consume/burn most if not all of the powder charge. That can vary depending on the cartridge and the burn rate of the powder. The problem with removing all but the lase few inches of the rifling, bullet velocity would be to high by the time the bullet reached the rifling and would shear the bullet jacket and not engrave it and loose accuracy. Don't know what your thoughts are, but I don't believe it would work very well. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
