    Short barrels and full powder burn?

    Hi everyone.
    Have heard talk about longer cartridges not getting a full powder burn in shorter barrels? Take for example a 280 rem in 20" barrel.
    How true is this?
    Can it be overcome some what with powder choice?
    And is there a rule of thumb if you like to cartridge and barrel length?
    Keen to hear people's thoughts on this.
    Cheers steff.
