This video debunks the common myth that longer firearm barrels are always more accurate. Hosts Steve and Caleb explore the factors influencing accuracy, explaining that while longer barrels can offer benefits like an extended sight radius or ensure full powder combustion for certain magnum cartridges, they are not universally superior. For cartridges like .22 Long Rifle, barrel lengths beyond 12 inches offer no additional accuracy advantage regarding powder burn or bullet spin. The video emphasizes that true accuracy lies in finding the optimal intersection of barrel length, velocity, and bullet stabilization, rather than simply opting for the longest barrel.
