Seems like making an autoloader anything in .22 magnum has some challenges associated with it that I don't really understand. I've heard about case head separation, etc. Has Savage found a solution to these problems, at least in a carbine/rifle in the A22? (Rhetorical question; time will tell.)
My problem is I don't necessarily have the budget to do my own field testing...
OTOH Ruger already makes the SR-22 with a threaded barrel, etc.
10 rounds of .22lr, or 30 rounds of .22wmr, but some question the reliability, is it worth the difference? Life is full of trade-offs and none more apparent than in one's choice of weapons, especially handguns.
.22 LR is so cheap and available compared to .22 magnum, that I would prefer the .22LR.
.22 LR production is finally satisfying demand. Prices will drop over the next year.
The magnum out of a pistol only gives marginally better performance than the .22LR.
The .22 LR is much easier to suppress, as well.
3 .22 LRs are equivalent to a 9mm. A thirty round magazine is equivalent to a 10 Rd 9mm magazine for power available.
