[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1992562, member: 101791"] Barrel lengths do effect pressures, which effect velocity. Using slower burning powder the pressure is gain over a long period of time going down the barrel. Still it's higher pressure the higher velocity. That why using slow burning powder don't work well in short barrel lengths. You don't gain the pressure to push the bullet down the barrel. The pressure isn't as great at the start, but builds over the length of the barrel. That why pistol powders are faster, because of short barrel lengths or wheel guns. [/QUOTE]
