I have a question for the all shooting experts in here. In a black powder rife is there a huge difference in accuracy between a 26" and a 28" barrell if you are shooting between 100 and 125 yards?
It depends on the barrel. A Knight 26" is actually 25 1/2" from bolt face to the muzzle. T/C Omega 28" is actually 26 1/2" from bolt face to muzzle. The last 3/4" or so doesn't have rifling so it doesn't contribute to thevelocity soyou won't see much difference. An actual 28" barrel vs an actual 26" barrel and youshould see more difference withthe heavier powder charges.
