Reading and looking around trying to optimize rifles chambered in .22 lr has brought me to the realization that the bullets are slowing down by the time they exit that 16" barrel on my non-NFA firearms. That being said, there are sub sonic loads that one can use if one seeks them out. My question is would it be possible to have a barrel long enough to slow down a .22 lr to sub sonic velocities without being an impractical length?
