How about a name-change to "Subcalibers and Wildcats?"
(For some of the obsolescent & oddball rounds I load, I'm making use of Wildcatter techniques as it is, so that is REAL familiar turf)
This way Monkeyman with his reverse-engineered .218 Bee along the lines of a .224/.357 (.221 Monkeyman) and the AI crowd can hang out here if they want, and we can still get on Spike-1's nerves with the .17 HMR thing as well.
Best of both worlds!
Back to the guy necking down .25 ACP to .22: I think I know what he may have fired them in, and why:
A very very few Soviet knockoffs of the Walther TPH have shown up here after the Grenada conflict and The Wall came down...mind, these are totally unimportable under GCA-68...chambered for a "Baby Tokarev" type cartridge which is essentially the .25 ACP necked down to .22. Original ammo was of course berdan primed....
Frame configuration was 1/2 way between that of a TPH and an RG-26. Some East German holsters for the thing showed up 10-15 years ago, got one in my "DDR" collection, picked up one of the RG's simply to have something to put in the holster (Very tight fit! The Roscoe's much thicker!)
At some point I'll remember what the name was exactly of the pistol.
