One of the advantages of rifles chambered (and rifled) for the latest rounds is muzzle velocity doesn't matter nearly as much with high_BC bullets. But many shooters still apparently believe a 50 or even 100 fps "advantage" in muzzle velocity matters more than the bullet.
Which means an inch or two of barrel length doesn't matter much.
Seems to me that will be the argument for a 22 Creedmoor rifle, if any factory starts producing rifles. Does what a 22-250 does in a similar case, but with prescribed 8 twist barrels to take advantage of the heavies.
Haven't shot one yet, been window licking Scenarshooter's posts and thinking I want one.
We can't hunt deer with 22 caliber bullets in WA State, which is a shame.
