[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 44298, member: 1067"] Darryl, My only experience with a long barrel, was in 1972, when I put a 33 inch Ackley Barrel on a 22/284. The rifle achieved 4,048 fps using 54.0 grains Norma 205 with the 60 grain Hornady Hp. Unfortunately, there were no suitable bullets heavier than that available in Australia at that time. I recently had the 25.25 inch barrel chambered for the .224 Clark (64 grain capacity, same as 22/284) set back after 1500 shots and rechambered to 22/250AI. The 224 Clark achieved 4,035 fps (55.5 IMR 7828) with the 60 grain Nosler SPBT, 3,952 fps (54.5 IMR 7828) with 69 grain Sierra HPBT, 3735 fps (57.0 H1000) with 80 grain Sierra HPBT. I intend to build up another rifle using the .224 Clark, but next time will use a long action Rem 700, probably a 28 inch barrel, and concentrate on bullets of 80 grains and heavier. Good luck, Brian. [/QUOTE]
