I don't get to get on here as often as I used to since this site has been blocked at my work for "weapons", but when the kids finally get off the home computer (which isn't often), I try to catch up. So the best I can tell, noone had any comments on the Guns& Ammo article on how shorter barreled rifles are more accurate? I feel most of us know the difference in the 450 is more of an FPS issue than an MOA issue, but I'm surprised noone cried "Phooey" or anything...

I must have missed that article! Since we are running the dogs now, I'm missing out on my reading time in the tree stand!

I don't seem to get time to read my gun rags when I buy them.
$$$ is better spent on hardware .
I could have a couple nice rifle for what I've spent on unread or browsed magazines.

Why are you surprised?

I'm not surprised at the results at all. I'm more surprised that there wasn't any conversation about it. I've known my 16" is as accurate as anyones 20". I just expected to hear a little rumble from the long barrel is more accurate crowd. I was sold on it since I was a kid and had the remington "targetmaster" with the extra long accurate barrel.

The .450 crowd seems to be pretty knowledgeable. I just doubt there was anything new at all in that article, as you have mentioned.

Of course it could also be that a lot of subscribers are still pissed about that writer posting anti gun dribble and so right now, their readership may be way down.
