... Interesting factoid time ... the four (4) rifle proof-group average for the four (4) 18" PredatOBRs = 0.446" /// the proof-group average for the four (4) 22"
PredatOBRs = 0.470" ... 0.470" - 0.446" = 0.024" ... the 22" barrels just happened to average group 0.024" bigger than the 18" rifles. What do you derive from these results ? ML

aggressivesquirrelartandstuff Would be interesting to repeat the test just to see if the results remain the same, even out or go the other way. For statistical relevance...Who knows?

  -  aggressivesquirrelartandstuff @laruetactical Thought they may be, but still would have been interesting.

  -  aggressivesquirrelartandstuff @aggressivesquirrelartandstuff Either way. No losers on the receiving end for sure...

betzfromtheinside Just taking a guess here. Harmonics on the longer barrels? Maybe the 18" guns put up a bit tighter group at 💯 but don't quite reap the extra velocity gains for longer range engagements? Pros and cons? Or could it be a weight balance difference? Recoil difference? Or just chance? 3 likes

usgeneral25 Vagrancy of ballistics? I mean I guess technically this is too small a sample size to truest infer anything from statistics IMO?

briandavid185 That bigger really isn't always better?

highbrow_666 Shorter barrels are more accurate at the expense of velocity. Physics 101. 1 like

moodphotoz That 100 isn't long Enough to display results of the longer barrel

  -  moodphotoz @moodphotoz basically both are so accurate that really can't tell the difference between them until the extremes

_viking_43 I derive from these results that I need another Larue complete upper in 6.5 Creedmor...checking my email every 10 minutes for the next drop

davidewade Shorter barrels have smaller "whip" vibrations. Longer barrels usually have higher velocity and are affected less by wind. Therefore in a tunnel, the shorter barrel should shoot smaller groups. 1 like

jimmyva2 I think I'll need to spend some time with of those 18" PredarOBRs first 👍

treetopkiller1 More data required. Short and stiff..?

jpatrickbateman Any 6 ARC in the works Mark? 2 likes

  -  usgeneral25 @jpatrickbateman I have that question as well

angrygingertx I read somewhere that although a short barrel is harder for a shooter to shoot accurately with as opposed to longer one, that they're likely to actually be more accurate themselves. I'm not an engineer but it doesn't take one to see that a shorter barrel would be stiffer than a longer one if the diameters are identical.

stillsaltyaf_ That you make highest quality rifles that I need. 👏 1 like

omd3100 The bullets got a little tired in the extra four inches? Or maybe your bullets and loads you are using just do better in the 18" barrels. Do the longer barrels have A2 flashovers?
