Most discussions on the effectiveness of cartridges (in handguns) seem to focus on calibers, grns, etc.
In reviewing some testing tables and results it seemed the length of the barrel made a very noticible difference to how the cartridge performed - expanded didn't expand, etc.
So what about them barrel lengths? Is there a length that provides the best potential for effective cartridge performance.
I never liked math and the whole equation like thinking...caliber grn load barrel length rate of rifling per certain distance = penetration, expansion, energy, etc. is just giving me a headache.
Just looking for some clarity if there can be clarity with this set of topics.
