anyway.. the reason i was asking is for something like a scout rifle with a shorter barrel
sam1911, you say that the more powerful cartridge will have more power out of a shorter barrel... but, what if i didnt want the full power of a .308 for example... what about something like a .300 savage?... shorter case, less powder, isnt as powerful as a .308 fired from the same length barrel, but will a shorter case such as this produce closer to the maximum of what the cartridge can produce?.... meaning, would the be a lower percentage of velocity decrease using the same bullets, and all else being the same?
