I have a buddy looking at getting a .450 bushmaster bolt gun specifically for hunting. Max distance would be 250-300 though that would be rare. The Ruger American comes in a 16” and a 22” barrel. I’ve seen where the 16-18” jump gets around an extra ~100fps with 250gr hornady ftx.
What I can’t find is data on the 22”. What is the continued gain from 18-22”? Is there any?
He is planning to suppress it at some point as well. How much difference would that make?
