    I chronographed and pattern tested 3 different barrel lengths in my 12 ga 870 back in the 80s.

    After finding that there is virtually no difference, I've used a 21" ever since.

    Pachmayr Diamond Pro 02480.

    A finger grooved one piece with softer rubber at the web of the hand.

    You can't appreciate how truly beautiful they are until you shoot with them.

    Most machined products have a dimension tolerance window. It's impossible to cast a bullet to a perfect .359000" diameter, so that's where the .000/.002 tolerance comes in.

    There are very few true 375 Winchesters (guns) out there.

    Your GC shank is bound to be made for 44 cal GCs.
    .006" difference is easily sized with that thin copper. 458 GCs are standard for .451 pistol boolits.
