with new technologies and better proppellents these days worrying about barrel length is a bit old old fashioned unless we are talking barrel lengths under 20 inches
Actually, I disagree. With everthing else being so equal, bbl. length will be the only variable. It still will hingle on the amount of powder, burning rate and how many inches of bbl. the charge has to ignite fully and build up pressure.
Do you think the deer knows the difference of 100 fps?? My point was there is very little terminal performance difference between a accubond moving 2,960 fps and 2,860 fps... atleast not enough for anyone to really tell realistically speaking. Once again IMO I wouldnt worry about it.
