[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2845196, member: 122164"] I have ruined two good shooting barrels by cutting them down, you change the harmonics. Accuracy requirements should be taken into count. If you are going to use the gun for 200-yard and under shots, this would be a major consideration, but a 450-yard gun would have more demands on accuracy. To add to the problem, many people do not reload where loads could be adjusted to a new frequency the barrel likes to resonate at. Others do not have the time or inclination to get into the details of tuning loads. New Tune load may not be found when barrels have been cut, and there is also a chance that the barrel may be more accurate...it is helter-skelter. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
