Sit down Sidney because this may come as a shock but you are not the sole arbiter of everything I do, feel or think, so what actually you mean is YOU ( Sidney) find muffs unpleasant,maybe others as well buy who really knows.
I did spend some time in a tree on Stuart Is. I saw 2 deer but panicked when I realized I was in the bush with a rifle that was out of fashion and had a 23 inch barrel so didn't shoot. I did recover after some counseling and managed to completely fluke 3 white tail for the trip with my useless rifle. I think I even put a report in the magazine section here.

I hunt with a rifle so hunting and shooting are inseparably intertwined. Your interpretations of my reply's are perplexing , Have you been tested for dyslexia?

I would like to see a specific experiment.. if you are aware of one.. but relying on load data from inconsistent sources is hardly conclusive..

Let me remind you what you said, from post #43 "Besides, reloaders using faster powders can make up most of any speed lost from shortened barrels."
And from post #56 "Bullocks - try shooting slow powders through pistols and getting the same performance... everything is a continuum chap and slow powder performance gets optimised in longer barrels. Conversely faster powers are optimised in shorter barrels."

I'm not doing your research for you. Actually I have no problem with the thought of you continuing on in your beliefs as they are.

You can lead someone to water but......

I will just say.

Why would the cartridge care what length the barrel is.....it wouldn't.

If you are getting velocity "back" by running faster powder it is even more velocity you could have had in the longer barrel with the same load....you have gained nothing more than more pressure.

Its a strong human trait to cling to our first belief no matter how illogical.

What do you mean Willis! "The worlds not flat"!?

Our my first human belief "If Eve wore a leave I'm sure Adam wore a hole in it"!

Lead me to water then... Its not about the cartridge is it? The cartridge is a constant. Its about the powder in the cartridge...

Pressure, duration and acceleration all have some bearing on velocity, to suggest that there is no variation to relative performance, by vastly different powder specifications in different barrel lengths seems unlikely from a physics perspective. It may be insignificant or minor but none??.... wheres the direct evidence that can show us those results..?
