So I have been reading up on this, and while it isn’t a new concept there isn’t a ton out there. Iffin I seached correctly here, there was one thread that talked about it some, but from my understanding was mostly air rifle talk.
Has anyone played with and are playing with a squeeze bore rifle in 22 rimfire. The concept seems simple as to where you have a 22 caliber round that gets “squeezed” down to 20 caliber as it travels out of the barrel.
-Supposedly it helps gain some velocity.
-Supposedly even shortish barrels start to catch up to longer barrels
-Supposedly it improves BC with the projectile slimming down and stretching out
-Supposedly it increases pressures, as to how much and how much of an impact on rifle/brass I haven’t seen much on YET
There is a company that currently offers these barrels for a 10/22, but was wondering if a bolt gun like the CZ457 would be better suited for any higher pressure related to this. I’d love to hear your input if you have done this or are doing this now.
