[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2801766, member: 115658"] Expanding propellent gas driving bullet from bore after powder is burned favor longer barrels. About a 2% gain with a 26-inch barrel. 24-inch barrels are more popular than longer barrels and a small velocity loss is negligible for most applications. Most of my hi-vel rifles have 26-inch barrels. Palma type competition .308W rifles commonly have 29-30 long barrels - velocity is important. [/QUOTE]
