[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 3014626, member: 16869"] I feel the longer barrel swings & points better for trap shooting, but the velocity difference between a 30" and 28" barrel is relatively tiny. Long time back a gun article described how the author took a bolt action 12 gauge goose gun with a 32" barrel and cut the barrel down 2" at a time stopping at 18" - taking chronograph readings all the way. The [B][U][I]total[/I][/U][/B] difference in velocity from 32" to 18" was only 80 feet per second. That's less than 6 feet per second per inch of barrel. [/QUOTE]
