[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3158873, member: 15054"] some reading if you have not read it. [URL]https://www.ammoland.com/2018/06/224-valkyrie-v-6-5-grendel-the-ultimate-battle-of-1000-yard-ar-15s/#axzz5SVTIRZ6N[/URL] I like less recoil and less drift. I have found that less barrel whip results in greater accuracy. I have decided in my mind a smaller diameter bullet exerts less twisting forces on a barrel and results in a smaller harmonic or whip. With that in my mind I can go a bit longer with my barrel with small diameter bullet and still retain really good accuracy. Yes you can find a node and make the longer barrel work very well and you can add diameter to the barrel or play with groove type when you have a custom barrel made. But for me shooting in temps from 5 degrees to 100+ I find the shorter barrels or smaller diameter bullets keep my group sizes much smaller without needing to tweak the load. [/QUOTE]
