.22 Jet with actual .222 diameter bullet would qualify, .22 Highpower with .227 diameter bullet would not...right?

Earshplitten...

.22 Savage Highpower, being a cartridge of the .219 Zipper/.225 Winchester class...excluded

.22 Hornet--with bullet diameter ranging from .222" to .224", is included. Its "dawn-of-the-smokeless-age" antecedent, .22 Winchester Centerfire (pretty much a shortened Hornet casing) included...despite the ,227" diameter bullet.

.22 CCM (Cooper Centerfire Magnum) is included [BTW, that's a centerfire version of .22 WMR] though it's antecedent parent cartridge, the .22-15 Maynard....sort of in limbo.

this might fit the weirdo
 
my brother reloads 22lr 's with 22 cal air rifle pellets 1.5 gn of fff
black powder and the white stuff out of toy cap gun caps(big shots)he gets 198 primers for $1 au ,500 projectiles for $5 and is happy as larry with 100gns (2 shots worth) of fff. he uses it in a laser sighted zip gun and trys to shoot rats under the house and cane toads.no hits on rats yet .toads are very tuff they take a few.toads are hard to kill bastards .(maybe he should try the pellets in backwards trick)

I seen a pull off barrel that was chambered for the .50 BMG necked down to 6mm once. The guy said he was burning a ton of powder and was only able to get alittle over 4,500 fps. with it.
I`m in Alaska now, but when I get back home in Aug., maybe I`ll try necking some of my primed .22 rimfire cases down to .17 cal. Make my own .17 Mac11 ammo.:rolleyes:

.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, commonly known as the .17 HMR, is a rimfire rifle cartridge descended from the .22 magnum. It was developed by necking down the .22 Magnum case to take a .17 cailber (4.5 mm) bullet. Commonly loaded with a 17 grain (1.1 g) bullet, it can deliver muzzle velocities in excess of 2550 ft/s (775 m/s).
