[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 1275076, member: 1546"] I wouldn't cut mine down, as I don't think it is that muzzle heavy. I sure wouldn't cut off 8 inches to start with. If you think how a lever works, it gives more leverage the further away from the fulcrum. Cutting off 1/2 a pound of weight at the end of the barrel will feel like more to you holding it in shooter form. Try a little shorter if you must, but shortening too much at first is difficult to add it back. Shorter barrels may not burn the powder completely cutting accuracy. SHOOTING SMOKLESS POWDER IN ANY MUZZLELOADER NOT DESIGNED TO SHOOT THAT TYPE OF POWDER WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF THE GUN AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF YOUR LIFE. [/QUOTE]
