    barrel blank q


    Could you use a 5.56 blank for a 22 barrel?

    I don't think so. A .22 centerfire uses .224" diameter bullets and a .22 rimfire uses a .222" bullets. Also, the rifling twist would likely be way too fast

    ????


    Wiki lists dia as .224

    SAAMI lists as .2255

    Fast twist is what I'm looking for.

    My little Glenfield handle subsonics very well with the 1-16 twist, but I suppose some brands may not.
