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.

Or is "less chatter, more splatter" more your style? Then go see Varmint Vapor Vestry!
