[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1385486, member: 30902"] Considering the 450 BM, .458 SOCOM and the new 45-70 Auto are all designed and tested in short barreled AR type platforms I suspect you are correct and that you'll see considerably better velocities than advertised from 20+" barrels. Long ago I had a pair of 45-70's, one was a 26" Marlin Rifle, the other an 18" ported carbine guide gun. With the exact same PMC 305gr load I had 14" more drop at 100yds from the GG than from the full length rifle. Both were zeroed at 25yds. [/QUOTE]
