barrel length

Is there any good info out there on optimal length for a .223 bolt gun barrel? I am thinking of the type of info that Vudoo put out on their tests where they started with a long barrel and kept hacking off 1" at a time to see where performance or speed dropped off. I don't want to get a...

Ok, so I have spent some time researching the ballistic characteristics of the 22LR. I am interested mostly in internal ballistics at this point. I started with some reading on "accuracy" as it relates to velocity and I have come up with an interesting idea I would like to bounce off the...

Forgive me if Im posting this in the wrong area but it is a stupid question. When measuring barrel length I know its breach to muzzle but I have a brake on, do I include that if so why its not rifled and technically speaking the bullet has exited the barrel when its in the brake.
