[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3119128, member: 5412"] Ok, there is some misinformation in this thread that needs to be corrected. 18" is the minimum length. I didn't look it up. My mistake. Mine is 19 1/8". As far as the barrels being tapered, they are to a certain length beyond the chamber for strength. In the pic, I have my 19 1/8" and my trap barrel which is full choke. The taper stops at the front of the forearm. Its consistent within .001 +/- from that point to the muzzle on both barrels using calibrated Browne and Sharpe digital calipers that are the standard in measurement. I can verify with starrett mikes if anyone wishes. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180527/5c5cca038fbf745445789094f94c422f.jpg[/IMG] Depending on the powder. A fast burn powder will be done in the first 16-18". Using a slow burning shotgun powder in a short barrel will not give any greater velocity, but will produce a whole lot more muzzle flash. I've played with this in the past since I reload shotshells on an RCBS Grand. [/QUOTE]
