Let's talk efficiency.
Obviously barrel length comes into play as well, but I wonder what handload (powder, bullet) fired out of what gun (barrel length) gives the most ft/lb of energy per grain of powder, and thus is the most efficient cartridge/firearm combo....
I'd have to think a bolt action carbine (so no gassing)of some sort, maybe 9mm w/115gr bullet loaded with a faster powder, maybe high nitroglycerin content....maybe bullseye.
Interesting thought.
