That one was a benchmark but plenty of the makers can do blanks that long.

I bought a Ruger M77 light sporter in 22-250 to use mainly for running deer target shooting and for fun shoots back in late 70's.
Fookin' accurate little rifle with my load using 40 gr Speers at a tad over 4000fps with 38.0 gr of 4895. Mucho grande for melon
& water filled pumpkin exploding as well. The rifle still shot tight after 500 rds but the bore ahead of the chamber was cooked 3 inches.
"Redneck free bore."

I’ve got a an XR100 in 22 Middlested and a 700 in 22/243 no neck turn no fireforming. With the XR100 I rechambered the factory barrel for fire forming at the same time as the Lilja 1-8 was fitted, trouble sas it shot so well with 52 grain Bergers that I left it on for quite a while. It’s hard to unscrew a barrel that puts 5 in the same hole.
