"I repeat it doesn't emmidiately improve accuracy, however it does so over time, the benefit being that the action and barrell won't skid around within the wooden stock"
Soren, it does immediately improve accuracy as the pressure point is immediately relieved and the effect on hormonic stabilization is immediate. You said that the action and barrel "won't skid around within the wooden stock"? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?
"I disagree, a higher velocity does generally increase accuracy. Its common knowledge in my former business infact"
In your former business? What, your paper route when you were 12? I am not sure what you mean by "higher velocity." Do you mean higher than the lowest velocity you can achieve without running the risk of a hangfire? Then yes.
I will just repeat what I said as you may be saying something different, "The most accurate loads are generally not the highest velocity loads. Look at any reloading site that tracks the group size with the listed loads and you will see that the most accurate loads are amost never those with the highest velocity."
There are plenty of reloading sites on the web. Look it up for yourself. Most reloading manuals have a good primer on ballistics. I suggest you read one or two. You can also read tips on how to make your rifle more accurate and will notice that floating the barrel is probably the most common suggestion. You will also not the absence of any mention of it taking time after floating the barrel to notice an improvement in accuracy.
"PS: the Gewehr 98 is infact generally more accurate than the K98k, and since there's no difference between the two rifles, besides barrel lenght, only muzzle velocity can be the colbrit here."
I am not aware of any field tests on these two guns and thus am not in a position to accept your assertion and agree or disagree with your conclusions. If true, there can be lots of reasons for that. Different sights, different stocks that make contact with the barrel, different production plants with different machinery (better rifling), etc. I just don't know.
Late last year, Gun Test Magazine did tests between the Savage 10 FP with a 20" barrel and the Savage 12 BVSS with a 26" barrel. Both are chambered in .308. The 20" barreled model was more accurate. This frankly surprised me. It may be due to variations in the individual guns tested. I don't know. At any rate, at a minimum, it would in and of itself tend to refute your conclusion above.
