Our trust owns a Spectre II rimfire and this weekend I was comparing it's performance to a very simple and basic Form 1 tube that an acquaintance brought over. Test hosts were a Ruger 4" 22/45, 10-22 w/16.5", and 17 HMR w/16.5".
The Spectre was hands down winner on the 22/45. HV or subsonic no real diff.
About a tie with the 10-22 using subsonic and we couldn't reach an agreement on the HV ammo.
The HMR was revealing as the Form 1 tube was noticeably quieter than the more "efficient" Spectre.
External tube size was close but no idea about the internal volume. So why was the Form 1 tube less effective on the 4" pistol but more effective on the HMR?
