Sit down Sidney because this may come as a shock but you are not the sole arbiter of everything I do, feel or think, so what actually you mean is YOU ( Sidney) find muffs unpleasant,maybe others as well buy who really knows.
I did spend some time in a tree on Stuart Is. I saw 2 deer but panicked when I realized I was in the bush with a rifle that was out of fashion and had a 23 inch barrel so didn't shoot. I did recover after some counseling and managed to completely fluke 3 white tail for the trip with my useless rifle. I think I even put a report in the magazine section here.

I hunt with a rifle so hunting and shooting are inseparably intertwined. Your interpretations of my reply's are perplexing , Have you been tested for dyslexia?

I would like to see a specific experiment.. if you are aware of one.. but relying on load data from inconsistent sources is hardly conclusive..

Let me remind you what you said, from post #43 "Besides, reloaders using faster powders can make up most of any speed lost from shortened barrels."
And from post #56 "Bullocks - try shooting slow powders through pistols and getting the same performance... everything is a continuum chap and slow powder performance gets optimised in longer barrels. Conversely faster powers are optimised in shorter barrels."

I'm not doing your research for you. Actually I have no problem with the thought of you continuing on in your beliefs as they are.
