Tuning Barrels

Got a 66mm barrel that came with my R-13 years ago. I notice that I am in tune (with the tuner at 440) when everything is pushed in all the way. Thing is, I checked my pitch before I was thoroughly warmed up. I assume I will go a little flat after I've been playing a while, but haven't tested this yet. Should I get a shorter barrel to make sure I can adjust properly as my horn changes temperature? 65mm? 64mm?

By the way, thanks to all of you who steered me to Brad Behm for my chipped mouthpiece repair. Came back fixed and playing like new again.
