Can anyone tell me what ft lb a ruger .22 does please

Can anyone tell me what ft lb a ruger .22 does please

you mean 22lr if so it would depend on the ammo used not the rifle

Just google the ammo you're thinking of and you'll find the answer pretty easily.

Hey Paul,

 

Do semi-auto's not produce less ft/lb than a standard bolt action, I'm sure I heard that somewhere?

they will produce the same but use it differently

I think he's referring to the ft/lb after it has left the barrel. The .22lr semi autos work by using some of the energy from the expanding gases to cock the action, and therefore ejecting the case. It is a minor amount but it is an amount. Military centre fire semi/auto rifles instead use a gas rod system with gas ports at the end of the barrel, which results in a fraction of the energy lost than if it were to immediately push the action back.

Chears guys

[Coypu Hunter 486]

Winchester Super X subsonics (40 grain, 1075 fps) through a silencer on a bolt-action rifle with a 22" barrel generate 102.67 fpe. CCI Blazers and Winchester Super X Hyperspeeds (40 grain, 1450 fps) generate 186.79 fpe. You would need to chrony specific ammo through your specific barrel to get a precise figure.

 

Since 59 fpe delivered to centre mass will kill a human, I wouldn't worry too much about losing a few feet per second to cycling the action -- even 22LR subsonics are more than enough for most varminting needs

Aye, but lets not confuse everyone who doesn't have a working knowledge of gas systems and just leave it at that shall we? My point was that it isn't worth fussing over for a few rabbits. After all. A 12ft/lb air rifle does the job well enough.

Was that a quote from the guy who shoots them in a snare? And what I want to know is who worked that out?! Some poor bunny with a massive headache as they ramp up the lb/ft from 0.1. Lol.

true story a young lad shot one in the head with his rat catcher at 20 odd yards the pellet came back and hit me in the shin, nice head shot too

Only knocked the thing out though I bet! I've been caught by Ricochets from the pellet catchers when helping cadets shoot. They use air arms s410's at 11ft/lb and it bruises like hell!

I have heard 3-4ft lb many a time, no idea where it comes from, but as a 12ft lb is perfectly capable to a reasonable distance I guess it isn't far off!
