A longer barrel will increase velocity - up to the point that all powder is completely burned - then it may start reducing velocity due to friction. I didn't see where anyone said otherwise on this post though. Maybe I missed it.
I had a Marlin 1894 in .44 mag. It was not overly impressive accuracy wise. I sold it a while back. I don't remember exact groups - somewhere around 3-4 MOA I think. I guess that would work for deer though out to 100 yards or so.
