I am going to get a 45/70 barrel for my Encore.
I have a couple of choices. One is a little short 20 inch barrel and the other is a 24 inch barrel.
I have no experience with the 45/70.
Am I right to suspect that with the slower powders you use in a 45/70 that the shorter barrel is going to lose a lot of velocity over the longer barrel??
