I have an Encore I bought to build a Hobbit rifle. I am eventually going to Africa next May. No dangerous game will be hunted. Mainly antelope. I thought it would be fun to order a .375 H&H barrel for the Encore. I doubt I would ever use it much but my friends might. I was thinking of doing an 18" or 20" Threaded barrel. I assume I will install a brake to reduce recoil since I do not have a suppressor that large. At the shorter length, the muzzle blast will be intense. Is that enough reason not to try the shorter barrel and to stick with the standard 24" or 26"? If anyone has used a short barreled .375 some feedback would be appreciated.
