Mystery cartridge

[BILLY D.]

Hi Guys

Just got back from Minneapolis a couple of hours ago. I happened upon a mention of 22-06, 08 and 10. They were in the book I was reading, old Maynard type cartridges with HUGE rims for firing in single shot Maynard Rifles. However I didn't get to write down any of the specs. They did not mention any thing about a -02 cartridge though. I will be going back in a few days and study the article a little closer and get more facts.

gumpokc may have hit upon the answer. They were made for parlor shooting much like the Flobert Cartridges. The Colibri's are similar as they only contain a priming mixture.
