You are well versed brother. We used longer barrels for targets over 1000 meters because of the need to carry as much velocity as possible, to increase bullet performance at extreme ranges.

I did not mean to mislead anyone in comparing a sporter barrel to a military grade sniper rifle. Since most military barrels are chromed and use a completely different kind of stability medium. Sporter riflings are extremely damaging to bullet flight and there is no comparison.

You know your stuff for sure.

Thanks, but my firearms expertise is more country boy skills, primarily focused on putting something tasty on the table.

Certainly enjoy learning tech facts from folks who know more.
