Thanks Frank. I could read that stuff all day. I guess we are not that far off in our fondness for 32" tubes. By the way, I have a 32" DH that is linked to DuBray. I'll have it at the Southern if you can make it, if not I'll bring it to Ernie's.

Thanks everyone. Just some info I should have included in the post ..... the velocities reported by DuBray may be confusing to modern shooters. Back in the day, velocity was usually shown as average velocity over 40 yards, not muzzle velocity as the practice is today. I presume that average was calculated by adding muzzle velocity + remaining velocity at 40 yards, sum divided by 2.

Barrel length seem to chane with the seasons. When I started to shoot registered skeet back in the late 70's 26 inch barrels were the in thing. I recently sold my "skeet" gun and it had 30 inch tubes.
