Liberty or death Jr. Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Is there any difference in performance between barrel lengths? I always thought a long barrel like a 32 incher would have more velocity and distance and a shorter barrel like a 22 incher would have larger patterns and less velocity because it burned less powder in the barrel. I heard the 26 incher got the maximum velocity, full powder burn and good distance. Have I heard wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty or death Jr. Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Thank you Tucker, My question is answered. One thing he didn't answer though is velocity and power. I am sure there isn't really any difference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Modern powders will attain maximum velocity in shorter barrells. This is not true with rifles, but with shotguns there is very little difference in velocity between a 24" barrell and a 30". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
