Once the projectile leaves the crown of the barrel, the muzzle device is no longer going to have an effect on the projectile.
To add to that even if your barrel is longer does not mean it will be more accurate, in fact theoretically a shorter barrel will be more accurate due to the bullet being in the barrels for a shorter time so there is less time for the barrel to move while the bullet is in it.
