Last thread I could find on this was 4 years old; so I'm going to see if there's any new info out there. So;
I'm about to begin the paperwork for a SBS. Plan is to get a Remington 870. Keep one 28" barrel for hunting, buy another cheap one to cut down to 12" or about flush with the mag cap. What kind of ballistics can I expect from the 12" barrel, and what kind of patterning? If anyone here wanted to chronograph birdshot, buckshot and slugs from their 12"ish 12 gauge I would be very grateful; but even more grateful for pattern tests with the ammo. What are your experiences with SBS 12 gauges?
