Longest barrel and the cartridge it goes with?

[Lonesome Dove]

26” 257 Weatherby on a MarkV.
Once had a 28” Lilja in 300 Win mag on a FN Mauser action but found it pretty much useless for hunting with. Rather than cut it down I traded it.

 

[IXLR8]

Lahti 20mm is 84”

Are you sure it's not your mountain rifle when you go hiking?

Need a pack mule to take it into the mountains! It’s 35 pounds in the lite weight class, but I can add another forend to make it 50 pounds!

Big caliber stuff, definitely the German 'Paris' gun. Some arab tried a longer one but it wasn't self supported.

Cool!

The Gustav guns had barrels of 32 and 40 meters in length. Shot shells up to 7 tons.

How do you measure the length of a barrel? Where do you start the measurement? And I am assuming it would be the same for pistols and shotguns.

TIA,

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here but the ATF measures with a rod down the barrel from the bolt face to the end of the muzzle.

Nothing worse than being used for a pointer and getting shot in the butt? I didn't do it nor was the pointer, but a friend of mine was picking shot out of his butt for weeks as some fell out later on. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed!

i was always very careful about who I hunted with some have no idea how much time and effort go into training a gun dog I was lucky with mine I had German short hairs they would do any thing you asked of them from dove to baby sotting
