So, as I understand it the reason a rifle bullet will be accurate is when it leaves the barrel at the proper time that coincides with barrel harmonics it gets the same point of aim for its flight. So as we are tuning our loads up and down we are basically looking for the perfect timing for the bullet to leave the barrel. My question is this. What factors play into accuracy for a pistol? Does a 3 or 4 inch barrel have the same effect to the extent that it effects accuracy? Something is happening as we increase from min to max and the groups tighten then open back up. Just curious is all. Couldn't find any articles or anything on this subject that was specifically about pistols, both revolver and autos.
