    I am using a howa with a heavy barrel for FPR shooting and another one that is an Alpine Mountain for hunting.

    Every time I use my hunting rifle to 12 shots strings in the FPR class I got better groupings even though the barrel is shorter (lower velocity) and the rifle is lighter (a bit more recoil). Only compared the two up to 600m.
