Yes under reloading section.
I went shooting today and tested 2 savage Axis bolt rifles.
Both began as 22" barrels and I cut one down to 18".
Loads were not as finicky in the 18" barrel which I have found to be true for all my rifle barrels I made shorter .
I had 2 different loads today some 55 V-Max with H4895 and some 50 V-Max with H335.
Long barrel did not like my long seated loads but that load was not worked up for that chamber either.
It was worked up for the other rifle when it had a long barrel.
I drew a 1.2" circle and shot at the middle of it and the long barrel sent one load 2.5" low out of the circle and the other load was 1:00 above the circle.
The shorter barrel rifle put all rounds in the circle.
Guess what is going to happen to the 22" barrel some time in the future![Smile :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.png)
You guys already know all this stuff.
