Why use a slower powder for a longer barrel?

Because longer barrels give the bullet further to travel, more time is available for the propellent to burn, so slower powders can also be also indicated for longer barrels. Also, less airspace in the case often equates to better accuracy, so using a slower powder to get a larger charge into the case can also indicate a use for slower powders.

What is the difference between fast burning powder and slow burning powder?
