Re: Longer Barrels
for having to walk very far to a hunting spot or hunting while walking through an area, I prefer light weight carbines .... when hunting from an easy to get to stand, I prefer a heavier rifle with a longer barrel ....

Re: Longer Barrels
Although not a Henry, my Winnie 1894 Sportin' Rifle has a 24" Octagon Barrel. Definitely has that classic look. I realize they are a bit heavier, but if you can't carry one, you should start doin' more pushups/pullups, anything to get your biceps into shape.
I am reminded of the football coach who was asked why he made his running back carry the football 30-35X/game. He said, the football is not all that heavy!!!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Longer Barrels
As long as force exerted by the pressure in the barrel exceeds the frictional resistance of the bullet/barrel, the bullet will continue to accelerate. Gas pressure drops off as enclosed volume increases and cools, plus any loss due to leaks (cylinder/barrel gap in wheel guns for example) or diversion of gas for purposes other than pushing the bullet. At what length of bullet travel friction overcomes gas pressure can vary considerably between barrels and individual rounds in the same barrel, and even with atmospheric conditions at the time of the shot. This is all basic internal ballistics, albeit some factors are less influential than others.
Sniper101 goes into some detail about what happens inside the barrel, as well as other useful info.
