Shorter barrels mean less velocity, not less accuracy.
More importantly than the roughly half-pound of weight savings is the BALANCE you will gain from the shorter barrel.
And I would have to agree with this statement.
17" McGowen barrel at 100 yards 2 months ago, then same load today at 931 yards. You can see the fresh hits.
