The future is bright for fast twist 22cf.

A 80gr 22 lead bullet only needs to be doing 3150 to meet the legal requirements.

I wonder if I can get there with the ARC. Hornady claim 3010 with their factory 80gr.

Barrel length would be the key ?

Yes. Mine is a 22”. So maybe just, but it will probably be pushing it.

My 25-45 is doing it with an 80 gr barnes out of a .223 case, 25” barrel though.

That puts it in the realm of possibility!

Though I think 65-70gr copper will be more sensible.

Possibly, I can’t get there with 70/75, the benefit the 25-45 has is the larger bore, allowing faster powders.

It won’t push an 80 grain bullet to large deer legal velocity in Scotland.

I don’t shoot that many reds so still works for me!

Needs to be the 80gr though. And can you imagine an 80gr copper 22, be like a torpedo!
