Advantage of .22lr is it's cheap, Vmax style bullets not so much, may not work at .22lr speeds either. Also the way the bullet sits in the .22lr case.

lengths of barrels
.22 rf ammo Manufactures havnt altered their product because the old style is still making them profit.

About ten inches probably. Long barrels are retarded.

lengths of barrels
Scott Trail at Ssrnz.co.nz is using a 308 with a 10 inch barrel and it's hell accurate. My 7mm saum with the 16 inch (140g @3000fps) is the same. Originally Posted by gimp

tobes, you keep asking "piece of string"questions... 
depends on how much powder you use and also type of powder. So for instance if you have a short barrel and want more velocity, you use a faster burning powder. The variations are almost endless, which is why reloading is so addictive...
More of a hand loading thing, so not really relevant to rimfire, unless you find that different manufacturers use different powder or amounts of powder.Spanners likes this.

General .22lr ammo. 1250fps 40gr bullets ok. Im starting to wonder why the barrels are so long if you dont need it. Wouldnt it just be makin it worse

Because balance, tradition, people are stupid, legal requirements in some places (USA has to be over 16"), etc, etc.
The real world difference in terms of speed is nothing either way

It's ok as above has a suppreser why would anyone not have today ? Some situations but they have never caused me a problem and there is no shooting I do where you couldn't use one so all good Originally Posted by gimp
