Thread: Shotgun barrel length

36grm load of #3 lead is THE BEST rabbit load without question..falcon loads are cheap and kill exceptionally well...we used to go through a case a night. longer barrels definately nicer all around to use..Ive tried short and VERY short.....great for developing a flinch....20" plus for this Kiwi...28" about sweet spot for all the reasons cordite gave...Ben has point re ease of use..but he probably in ute alone so picks up from passenger seat and pokes out drivers window...COMPLETELY different to someone on back of ute...and a short barrel will be excessively hard on DRIVERS ears ....the noise cancelling earmuffs are gold for this.
