    Hi some 22 lr,s shoot better with a shorter barrel ie stiffer , less wag
    most ammo will fly slower but @ certain lengths they even fly faster than when shot via a long barrel
    From what ive read and tested even 12 inches [300mm ] is long enough .to get these little critters down the line
    Care is needed to recrown and thread the shortened barrel to get the best results ..
    Cheers to All
