Using Optimum Barrel Time

[82boy]

Precision Shooting magazine did an article years ago on barrel length, harmonics and accuracy called "The Houston Warehouse Experiment" Most interesting was apparently they decided that 21.75" was the ideal barrel length.

This is the most miss quoated part of the entire article. The 21 3/4 inch length was what they found what works on a 22 PPC. This doesn't mean that it is a generic barrel length to be applied to all calibers. As far as the Houston warehouse I have talked to two shooters that shot at the Houston warehouse(s), with one of them being very close to Virgil King and was at every session they fired. The both have told me that "What worked inside the warehouse doesn't work in real world, outside." I been told that "Unless you plan on having matches in a wearhouse, then take everything written in that article and throw it out the window." Why people take this article as gospile, I will never know.
