Re: Magnum barrel length--How short is too short

Quote:
For the 454, with the short barrel you can do very well with heavy bullets and top loads.
Look here for one fellow's chronograph data relative to your interest.
480 or 475 or 500 is even better.
For the money, a factory gun in 480 is the best path to the most effect on game from a light and handy short barrel gun.
That's really interesting..between the 4.25 vs 7.5...don't think Mr Griz bear will notice the difference ...
I picked up a Freedom Arms in 454 last spring..good little handgun..but shoot more 45 colt out of it than. 454..as that is what I have more of..if I was headed into griz country, I'd load the 454's
