Curious . . . what would be the advantages of long barrels (e.g. 24in) over 16-18 in barrels for .22LR cartridges?
In all the .22LR testing I've done, the MV's get slower as the barrel lengthens beyond 18 in. or so. Perhaps for some cartridges with published MV's just above sub-sonic (like those listed at 1200 fps), longer barrels fire them at a slower MV to keep them more accurate??? The only thing I can think of is that iron sights on a long barrel would tend give one a little more accuracy???

The only advantage that I can thing of is that a longer barrel allows for a longer sight radius for iron sights.
Longer barrel actually also helps in cutting down the minute movements you make.
It also ensures more ammo stays subsonic die to the longer barrel the bullet slows down before it leaves the end.
