Should be just the ticket for conversation during clubs running deer target shoots. My question how much do you think I lost in velocity cutting 5"1/2 off the barrel? Has anone used a faster burning powder to gain any back?
It handles like a dream .
Somebody was supposed to be doing a test a couple years ago whacking an inch at time off 375 H&H and Ruger barrels to see actual velocity loss. Wonder what ever happened to "that guy" and his test?
