[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 2107055, member: 4785"] I know where you are coming from most people think using short barrels they need to change to a faster powder. Usually the best performing load in the longer barrel still has the correct pressure curve to give the best performance. Look at a 223SBR the military don't use different loads in short barrels. And as mentioned a bigger case will give better performance if both loaded to the same pressure. There is so much mis information in this thread saying a smaller case out performs a larger case in the short barrel. But they take a low pressure standard case and compare it to handloads in a modern case that can be pushed past loading manual data and are running double based high energy powders. Run both to the same pressure with the same powder bigger always wins. [/QUOTE]
