After reading the thread that got deleted about the lethality of 22lr, I was curious about what was fastest round that shot a .22 bullet
First came across the .223 Winchester super short magnum. Boasting a velocity of 4500 ft/s that seemed to be the winner
But doing a little more research I see that the .220 swift is a bit faster at 4665 ft/s
(middle)
But then I ran across this beauty, with the best name for any round I've ever heard.
The .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer
It was designed to get the .22 to 5000 ft/s but fell a little short. But boy is it glorious
