My friend has cut down alot of muzzy barrels to 20", laid a sheet on the ground and shot up to 110gr of BH209 and was getting complete powder burn. FPS loss was only around 80 from going 28" to 20".
I really would like to see a .45 next year from Knight. Word on the street is they will have it in the 2012 line up.
The .50 cal Wolverine i own has a 22 inch barrel and it shoots excellent. i have read a lot about FPS loss with shorter barrels and it is very minimal as you stated. i still want a 1:30 twist .45 cal Knight for strictly conical shooting.i really don't even care if it is a plunger style. by this time next year i will be shooting conicals only in the .50 cal knight wolverine and hopefully a .45 cal Knight also. Knights shoot both conicals and saboted bullets excellent. if they do market a .45 cal next year i won't be buying one. there just asking to much for there rifles IMHO. i will buy used.Ray
