Hi guys...I was just looking over the tread "The Savage is Done".
I noticed that a lot of us like the longer barrels.
But I am wondering outside of increased velocity are we gaining anything,
especially now that we are using scopes ?
So speaking accuracy wise with cast bullets and for now leaving out the AR's
what in your opinion would be the optimal barrel length and o.s. diameter for a given caliber.
I see an awful lot of short 20" heavy barrels showing up lately.
I believe the industry standard is 22" for accuracy, velocity and barrel whip,
but we are not using jacket bullets, so...?
