Great that you can save an old 22. I had a similar bulged barrel on a Mossberg 151k but it was bulged right at 16 inches. Cut it off at 16.5 then drilled out about an inch to clean rifling. Suprising...

My rule of thumb is does it have the same energy as 357 magnum muzzle velocity at impact. Approximately 600 ft-lbs. I load 30-30 to 1875 fps for the lee 309-170 F they drop 180g for me. At 200 yards...
