    Is there any good info out there on optimal length for a .223 bolt gun barrel? I am thinking of the type of info that Vudoo put out on their tests where they started with a long barrel and kept hacking off 1" at a time to see where performance or speed dropped off. I don't want to get a...

    To cut or not to cut
