22 Hornet with 1/7 twist barrel
My first silencer years ago was a 22 long rifle but i wasn't happy with the standard 40gr bullet, yes i know they make 60gr but what i liked about the 22 hornet was i could reload it and have control over what bullets and powders i used. I used a Ruger 77/22 hornet and replaced the barrel with a 1/7 twist and sleeved it and built a intergraded silencer. I didn't play with the throat any for my length was dictated to me given the fact this rifle uses a magazine. I shoot 75gr, 77gr and 80gr bullets at 1050FPS and get alot more energy and with these longer bullets i get more of a yawing effect (tumble on impact).
