What problems does this cause when the barrel is too long? I've heard of the 10/22 actually losing velocity in a barrel longer than 18".

Perhaps having say a 12" barrel with a 4" muzzle device would do the trick? Or increasing the mass of the bolt so that it has a slower initial velocity when cycling?
