RE: Sharon Barrel
All I can tell you about Sharon barrels from practical experience is a friend of mine has one in .54 caliber on a Hawkins. We were shooting free standing style one afternoon at 25 yards. I was shooting my Renegade with a Douglas barrel, and he was eating the center of the target with ease shooting his Sharon barrel. Then to show off, he shot the red push pin thumb tacks in the corner of the target that was holding up the target in place.
