There was a fad of making wildcats out of the .22 Mag necking them down to .12" .14" .17" .19" and .20"
I shot them in my .22 Hornets with 296 the velocity was 3120FPS deadly on possums
I wouldn't use them in a fast twist they will not handle the high RPM better to use 40gr Vmax.

I wondered how folk would handload a rimfire cartridge. Preprimed brass clearly allows that. Something I've never heard of so thanks for that. Amazing the depth of knowledge on this forum. I have 1:12 twist in Hornet and 22-250 so lots of scope. What was the 296 charge for 3120fps please?
