22 MAG barrel length
« on: July 10, 2004, 12:11:36 PM »
I am considering buying a 22 MAG custom barrel in 24" length, is this length too  long for this caliber,  I wonder if I am loosing velocity with the longer barrel, most barrels I have seen on the 22 MAG have been around 20", for some reason I think that in a smaller caliber like this if your barrel length is longer than the optimum length your burning too much barrel and would this result in a loos of velocity and affect your trajectory as an ending result, am I corrrect in thinking this way.  The barrel I am considering is already made to this length but I know that i could have it shortned and recrowned if needed.

Thats what I thought also Ck, I too am considering a purchase from Ed,  he sent me an updated list and now all I have to do is decide what I want , that is harder than I thought it would be he has so many choices. I will call him tomorrow though , I am ready to shoot this new G2, I have had it for several months but no barrel.
