Can anyone tell me approximately how much velocity loss (if any) there is with a 40 grain projectile from cycling the action in a Ruger 10/22 as opposed to a bolt action, all other things being kept equal? Thanks.
I thought that it might make a bit of difference with a .22LR because there's not much energy in the first place (compared to a centerfire), for some of that energy to be used to cycle the action.
But some of the energy must be used to cycle the action, reducing the forward pressure of the gas?
The cycling energy is mostly recoil energy which happens anyway - instead of just pushing the rifle back, the energy pushes the bolt back first.
Gas operated systems (non-rimfire) are a bit different but they only draw a very small portion of the gas off, and have negligable effect on loss of velocity.

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.
Non issue Tens of thousands and gazillions of birds and animals and humans have been rendered by gas operated, and recoil operated firearms of many configurations for many many years
They used to chirp that myth about semi auto rifles not hitting as hard on game animals when I was young
