Assuming the bullet actually left the barrel. The friction might well jam the bullet inside the barrel.
Yes. Bore drag, a high expansion ratio, and a small gas volume of fast burning powder would make a stuck bullet very likely.
Man, I'd hate to have to remove a stuck boolit from 100' barrel. It would extend onto the neighbors' yard.
Information not shared. is wasted.
I’m not worried. It was just an amusing thought process.
It'd be an interesting test to see what the difference is between lead, plated, or jacketed bullets and light loads vs hot loads would have on how far a bullet could make it before running out of steam inside the barrel.
Once the pressure drops to zero does the bullet stop within a couple inches or does it keep truckin' along for a couple feet or more just from momentum???
100' barrel, uh how would you TRANSPORT that beast? Put trailer wheels and trailer lights and a hitch on it, and have a couple flagging vehicles help avoid idiots running into it? Too long. So: 95 feet tops
Also - How are you going to conceal that beast? Nope.
That 18" one could do. I'd probably want to match a decent bushing to it and save the existing bushing and barrel for when sanity returned to me, if ever :P
I'd maybe try a slower powder for longer barrels but have to see how that works. I doubt BLC(2) would do, tho it does great with 18" barreled 223s and 308s LOL
IMHO long barrels beyond the slide in the 1911 looks absolutely STUPID.
Have a 1911 with a 15" barrelthat I got from my uncles collection, shot it with my 200 gr swc target loads and had a few FTC with the stock 16 lb spring, changed it to a 13 and have no problems and accuracy is very good, also tried it with my 230 hardball rounds, worked perfect with the 16 and not much recoil.
Have to admit it looks strange but it's not my only 1911 so I like to play with things that are different.
Nm. Got two comments mixed together.
