We're counting down to a test date for the .22 rimfire barrel length vs velocity "chop-the-barrel" test.
See this thread for more info: http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69156
Here's the current list of cartridges on-hand so far for the test:
Remington: Golden Bullet HP (WalMart bulk pack), .22 Target RN, Thunderbolt RN, Yellow Jacket TCHP, Viper TC solid, Subsonic HP, CBee Short RN. Trying to get some Cyclone, no luck so far.
CCI: Velocitor GDHP, Stinger Penta-Point HP, Mini-Mag HP, Blazer RN, CB Long RN, Quik-Shok MPB HP (loaded in CCI cases, so I put it in the CCI category).
Winchester/Olin: Dynapoint HP (bulk pack, K-Mart?), Super-X HP, Power Point HP, T22 Target RN, Wildcat RN, Western Super-X HP, Xpert HP (WalMart bulk pack).
Federal: Hi-Power HP, Classic HP, Lightning RN, Federal HP (WalMart bulk pack), .22 Hyper Velocity 31 grain HP (never heard of that one until I found some on a shelf, in a 50-round gray "Classic-style" box), American Eagle HP, CB Long (old stuff, red box).
I tried to get some Aguila 30 grain (?) HPs, but the only retailer who had it would only sell it by the brick (@ about $30!!!). They said the small boxes were not labeled properly for individual sale, and the powers-that-be said brick sales only. I passed. I'll try to find somebody to split a brick with me before the test, but I refuse to buy 500 rounds of ammo for a short test; I don't care HOW good it's supposed to be.
Anything major I've missed? I tried to get a representative sample of plinking-grade stuff, lots of hunting HPs, several low-powered quiet CB rounds, and a couple of target loads (a low priority for me). Most of the ammo is fresh, off-the-shelf, recently purchased; a few boxes are from my ammo locker, and may be out-of-production (or have older labels than current production), but it's all been stored carefully under ideal conditions (which is more than I can say for some sporting goods stores' ammo storage).
Last chance for input! Let me know what you think...
