scott, that’s just kooky talk. The last few posters are right on. Why screw around with a long tube for just a minimal gain in velocity that will really gain you nothing with the chamberings you’re talking about. If you want to huck bullets at higher velocities, just get something with more engine room and stick with a shorter handier package. Just my .02


Because through judicious handloading and a bold sense of optimism, you can make anything into an .88 Magnum - once! 😁 - chesterpulley
