My mind is telling me there was a topic regarding this, but I can't find it. I'm interested in a 9.3x62, with a 22 inch barrel and iron sights, QD rings and scope. It probably does not make much difference with this round but would just like to know.

If it handles the way you like then it sounds good to me. That cartridge has a relatively large bore for its case capacity, so it doesn't need a bunch of barrel to perform.

My CZ 550 9.3x62 has a 23.6" barrel, but for a while I also owned a Mannlicher-stocked CZ 9.3x62 with, I believe, a 21" barrel. One day I chronographed several loads in both rifles, both factory and handloads, and there wasn't enough difference to worry about. In fact one load was a little faster in the shorter barrel!

The barrel can be 16" or 26" or anywhere in between, and will have no effect on caliber.
It will still be a 9.3x62...

If you "profess" something, that makes you a "professor", by definition, even if it's professing to be a ejakashunul professor, an you ain't really one.

Detractors......  Spent the last four years teaching college. I think that counts... And if not, we always have smartarse to fall back on.

Actually I didn't, but when I started reloading as a young lad the US was supposed to be going metric, so I learned a few things, and still measure my cartridges in millimeters for O.A.L. and can't convert them back to inches! Oh, and everybody knows about the uber 7x57 and the gay .270 by now. No need to teach it.

It will still be a 9.3x62... That's what I was going to say.

He's not a smartarse. He simply stated the obvious. We should say what we mean.

I have barrel "rules"...the smaller the hole, the longer the barrel. And the bigger the hole, the shorter the barrel. Just so long as the smaller hole is not on a barrel longer than 26"s and the big hole is not on a barrel shorter than 21"...and assuming it isn't a handgun. Or a 270/280,30-06,7/08 etc and then it can't be longer than 22".Unless it's a .22 or 243 and then it can be 22-24". Or a 338 or 375 can be 22"-24". And a 416-458 can be 25" but not much shorter,while a 7mm or 300 mag can be 24-26". See what I mean? 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I think the smaller the bore the larger percentage the loss per inch of barrel.
I've a .375 that pulls 2510 MV with 270's over 622 gr. IMR4895 in a 20". Can't imagine 24 increasing velocity equal to the ungainliness.
