I have a 77/357 that I had cut down to 11” but I think this one will need to be shorter since I’m using a bowers vers 50 which is almost 12” long. I think I’m leaning to chopping 12” off which would be a 6.5” barrel like the last picture shows. Attached File
Ehh, I’m inclined to say right at the end of the stock but I see your point What’s a ballistic table say? Thick woods hunting? Just target shooting? Excite to buy a new suppressor? Lol
ETA: wow, I’m disgusted with 77/xxx prices on gunbroker!
I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314 I thought I was covered for 22 cans, but the NFAids is a bitch when it mutates - themagikbullet

I cut my 77/357 right to the end of the stock and it looks pretty good. The bowers 50 is mostly for my 500s&w. I might get a 45 cal can that shorter at some point but no time soon.
Right now at that barrel length I’m shooting 260gr cast bullets at 1150fps I think. But I’ll probably end up shooting mostly 300gr. And I should be able to get them to 1000fps without issue even with a barrel down to 4”
Prices are crazy but you should see how much that 10 round mag costs.

Nice. Got any pics?
Your original idea of the 6” barrel sounds cool

I go back and forth on that. I think if done professionally it could look great but if I did it myself it would be a disaster. I have a synthetic one on my 77/357 so I could switch them and cut the synthetic one up. Or just get a Boyd’s stock and butcher it.
