Thread: Check this out: 22 ballistics

Well Well!!

Check out the two charts - one measuring velocity loss as you chop a 22 barrel down inch by inch, and the other showing muzzle energy loss inch by inch:

Ballistics by the inch

Interesting - have long been aware 22s will shoot superbly with chopped 15" and 16" barrels, but you can actually chop them to about 10" before significant velocity/energy losses begin. I would like to bench test the same rifle with 18" and then 10" barrels at 50 and 100m.
