Wild cat help..ideas? $$

Hello....in looking at barrels i see my one of the options is a 3 or 6 groove barrel
If I'm shooting .224 77gr bullets 22br 100yrd will one benefit me over the other..
If I'm thinking correctly does the 3 grove produce less frictions to push the bullet faster..and a 6 groove is a little slower but possibly more accurate..
Is that the trade off
Thank you
 
Rifle came in
New barrel
Change bolt knob
Add muzzle break ( now I know I dont need this on a 22br but I like the guys at this company and try to support them by purchasing there great products)
Plus it's a cool thread protector for other things..
I made a post looking for some 22br dies and thank you members for your response..
I was fortunate to win an auction on the dies set I was looking for..probably one of the members here..haha..thank you..
Need trigger (jewel?)
Firing pin and spring upgrade ( just because I believe ..it helps the rifles mojo..you dig..)
Some Brass to squash for dummy rounds and off to the gun smith..
I'm going to use a picatiny style scope base
And believe some one said have larger rear action screw installed..check!
Not sure on optics
This will be in the woods critter getter and target fun..
I'm thinking any optic larger then a 40mm objective would look just dumb..I have a VX-lll 6-20..x40 mm perfect for this rifle..but probably not to good in the woods with shadows..
Ideas..what did I miss..keep in mind this is a tool I would put about 5-800$ into an optics...in the woods on moving game the best scope I ever used was a Simmons pro diamond ..its perfect..just wish it was better quality...or maybe some cool peep site..nah..we want glass..my eyes suck

I was just reading the pined article on the 22br vs 22 dasher..wow..where does it end..
When will there be solid carbide bullets we can push to 6000 fps..with no recoil no muzzle blast..just a flash of light and dead silence..haha....

Realistically..is it possible to turn down and make solid bullets copper and push them unbelievably fast..
I bet there is an interesting article here somewhere ..because if I thought of it..its been done and death to death already..haha..I am interested in the subject

Solid copper bullets are made and can be pushed to insane speeds.

Our company has manufactured solid CNC brass projectiles for a number of different calibers and weights in the past. We have even played with turning solid aluminum projectiles as well.
 
Solid copper bullets are made and can be pushed to insane speeds.

Due to their nature, the monolithic bullets (copper, brass), are long for weight.
You can get the same form as a lead core bullet, but less weight means higher charge of powder.

To go with same weight mono, as a lead core bullet, speeds are about the same, but you need a faster twist barrel due to the mono being longer.
