I have read that reducing OAL in a bottle necked rifle round can increase pressure. I have also read that it can reduce pressure. I read a post here at the CF awhile back by John Barsness about OAL and pressure, but I can't find it. I also found this article by Barnes on OAL.

So, I thought I would come here and ask the Gunwriters, does reducing OAL in a bottle-necked rifle round increase pressure, decrease pressure or have little or no affect?


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
