[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1999651, member: 114381"] It all depends on your mission. Shooting 1 shell per year at a trophy elk at 600 yards vs match shooting every weekend. Also short barrels have their place. You obviously haven’t hunted hogs in Texas. Bailing out of a moving UTV is a lot easier with a short barreled gun in one hand, especially while holding a Bud Light in the other. As I said above (post 24), this gun is set up for a light load. I only ran the full charge weights during the initial load development. Back to the main topic - OBT. This gun/load is case in point where the best accuracy did not occur at a recommended OBT node. But in full disclosure it was only one 3 shot group and maybe something else was going on. Also velocity “node” derived from recommended OBT seems to be independent of barrel length. [/QUOTE]
