Thanks.

Short barrels work out just fine as they are handy in tight quarters. The supposed 'loss of accuracy' or velocity is illusionary when considered as a trade off for the benefits. This setup works just fine at 100 to 150 yards. The 470 Capstick was never intended as a 'pick off that mountain goat at 500 yds' cartridge to start with. It was intended for the big 'uns at short range with a trajectory that isn't going to work at much beyond what this shorter barrel will allow anyhow. The slight loss in energy at longer range, to me at least, is worth the trade off for handiness when you are close up and personal.

Muzzle brakes are personal taste. They are usually not appreciated by those who hunt with others as the blast is not just disturbing to others but can be dangerous. When hunting alone, and in close quarters, the issues become far less of a problem.

Again, just my prefences and not what others may like. Dave
