Does the use of high-speed .22 l.r. ammunition affect the service life of the barrels?

In principle, yes. The decisive factor for the service life of a barrel is the quality of the steel used. ANSCHÜTZ uses only the best materials in the manufacture of its barrels, which means that the use of high-speed ammunition is also possible in principle.

However, we would like to point out that the critical point when using high-speed ammunition is rather in the area of the chamber, which is subjected to a very high load due to the fuze and the higher gas pressure.
