Short video firing my Shiloh Sharps Saddle Rifle in .45-100 with a 28 inch heavy octagon barrel with a 511 grain paper patch bullet over 81 grains of Kik FFFg black powder. And yes I took my shooting glasses off while setting up the phone to take the video and forgot to put them back on and since that was my last round I could not reshoot the video.

28' a little short for that much black isn't it. Having the same discussion with a guy on another web site shooting a 45-120 with a 28" barrel. Black only burns so fast whatever isn't burned when the bullet leaves the barrel just fertilizes the lawn.

I don't know, it is accurate and is my hunting gun so I will give up a few inches for the portability. The longer barrels sometime have fouling problems in the last few inches. I think 28 is a perfect compromise length.
