Barrel length

Harold:

Great question, there's plenty of curiosity including theories of pros vs cons.
I want to once again say that reading your question is further proof that our 
club is improving in every way. Discussions at meetings inspired by yourself
and others should educate and to some extent motivate all of us to improve.
Unfortunately Harold, there isn't a definitive "cover all" answer. There are so
many variables to consider. Next time we're at the range I'll try to go over some
of the important pieces to the puzzle.
in short, here are some facts to think about.....
Gun designers do try to balance barrel length with power output to maximize
efficiency, if a gun is to be variable power then compromises have to be made
usually on the lower settings.
As far accuracy goes barrel length has little to do with accuracy, as long as the
projectile leaves the barrel cleanly with the proper rate of spin at the proper velocity
it should be good to go.
Barrel length mainly determines velocity not accuracy.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards always;
