.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.

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.

.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).
