    A long barrel may deflect more, but if the stimulus is the same it will react the same, so should still be as consistent. so would it be more correct to say that a shorter barrel is more forgiving for small variances in loads or heat?

    I would be interested in obtaining some of that magic dust.... my shooting is atrocious
