and function FLAWLESSLY in a savage rotary magazine or single shot ...hmmmm let me see now????????

That was the .225 Winchester. Came out in 1964 and flopped. It had the rim turned down so it would chamber with a standard medium bolt face. A 1 in 14 twist as well. It's short neck and throat would struggle with the longer pills. Getting close though.
