[QUOTE="brant89, post: 2402238, member: 49553"] I wanted a trainer/varmint rifle that would be compatible with my 22 cal centerfire suppressor, had to launch 75-80gr bullets in the neighborhood of 3000fps from a 20" barrel (since it would be suppressed) and still have reasonably good barrel life. 22BR fills all those criteria. 2940fps with 75 ELD's and an expected barrel life of 2k-3k rounds. It basically falls between a 223AI and a 22-250 so it's definitely a niche cartridge but oh so fun. Even took Top Team in a precision rifle event with it last May. [/QUOTE]
