20" bl. will add 100 fps over the 18 1/2".
(close, anyway) In the short barrels, the 85gr. mono-bullets seem to shine over the heavier cup and core bullets.
As someone who completely lacks knowledge of ballistics, that's amazing how much 1.5" can add to bullet speed. Something I didn't know about.

Get yourself a game tag for something.
There's a lot of wild pig opportunity up in the Paso Robles area. It should be easy to get that neat little rifle out in the field for a workout.
You'll be happy that you did.
I'll look through the tag options. There are at least a few outfitters here that I know with all sorts of game to be hunted, just need to decide on a date.

Congratulations and a nice looking stutzen in a different type of rifle. Now a birthday hunt.
Thanks John! A birthday hunt is long overdue
