[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1435692, member: 85987"] Your going to get more velocity out of a 30" vs a 24" barrel all else being equal. In shooting with a buddy 2 weeks ago my 26 rock creek shot 2727 fps avg velocity for gmm ammo. His 24" 5r shot the same box at 2586 avg velocity. Both rifles produce roughly the same size group and both rifles had similar extreme spreads. The extra velocity will help as distance grows with wind adjustments. Add more barrel get more speed. It also adds more weight to help keep the rifle more stable through the recoil impulse. The better you mange the recoil impulse the more consistent you are. The more consistent you become the more accurate you are. [/QUOTE]
