Single-Sixer
Anybody know about how much velocity is generated by a 22 magnum in a 9.5" Single Six? I'm curious to see where the velocity falls when compared to a 6.5" barrel or going to a rifle barrel (19-20" or so).

NO, I can still count to 7 1/2" even in my advanced dotage. I do have a 6 1/2" for comparison though....actually several now that I think on it.flatgate":1jnmh8cq said:WIL TERRY":1jnmh8cq said:I do not have a 9 1/2" 22MAG barrel to chrongraph but my 7 1/2" SUPER SINGLE SIX will hit 1700fps with some 22MAG loads and 1500 with any of 'em.
Really? Ruger's never catalogued a 7-1/2" .22 Revolver, Will.....
You MUST mean a 6-1/2", eh?

Ruger OMSS6......6.5" barrel.....1310 fps :wink:Old Judge Creek":3qc6qghr said:I am interested in this as well. Sadly, I've never had access to a 9 1/2" SS to chronograph the loads.
Just as food for thought I did chronograph the following:
PMC Predator 40 gr Lead point
Taurus M72 ...... 16.5" barrel ... 1768 fps
NAA 22 MiniMag. 1.5" barrel ... 841 fps
Ruger Single Six. 4 5/8 barrel .. 1227 fps
The Single Six vs the Taurus Carbine velocities amazed me!
