[QUOTE="Wildcat, post: 472458, member: 402"] I bought the Optima Pro for one reason, the 29" barrel. Remember we're shooting black powder/pyodex/777. The powder burns INSIDE the barrel and that's what gets the bullet going at it's speed. Any time you see fire come out the barrel when you shoot a MZ you are seeing power burning OUTSIDE the barrel doing nothing for the bullet and you are wasting powder. The fire outside the barrel tells you the powder/bullet/primer/gun combo you have is not reaching max performance. You could ever cut back the powder and get the same results. The extra 2 inches of a Optima Pro barrel gives me more time for more powder to burn INSIDE the barrel giving me the max performance I can get from the powder I use. [/QUOTE]
