Stock No. 15222:•Caliber: 5.75 Velo Dog
•For Gun Type: 1894 Velo Dog Revolver •Bullet Style: MC •Grain Wt.: 43 •F.P.S.: 730 •Ft.-lbs.: 325 pretty close to kicking 9mm to the dust heap. gotta love advertising.... the cricket if its the 25acp necked down to 22 as on that other site, is going to need lathe work. The 22 squirrel is awfully cute and interesting, but just how much case life does it have at full power? That shoulder just looks janky. |

I don't personally own a 22 squirrel but as far as the shoulder is concerned it looks no different than a 22k hornet shoulder. I would assume case life to be similar. now you mentioned "full power" with the squirrel. now your venturing into a danger zone. I would not exceed the factory bolt thrust levels of a savage Rascal unless you want to flirt with Murphy. 22lr is 24k psi but the rim diameter of the hornet is larger so max psi will be less to obtain equal bolt thrust levels. the Hornet operates at 47K psi which will almost likely end up with a KB out of a rascal or most rimfire actions for that matter. |

A rechambered 22 rim fire barrel was the original intent, but with a few minor manufacturing issues that I see popping up at the moment, a hornet/223 based case wouldn't be too bad as I don't believe it would be to hard to find a used one laying around a pawnshop. bolts just aren't popular these days.

Gotcha! heck you can even buy brand new bolts for a touch over $200 right now with all the rebates floating around then have the barrel set back/rechambered for a little more.
Once I get situated and we get the die situation settled 233_short and I were planning on offering setback/rechambers on savage .223's for a reasonable price. There is a thread floating around on here about the cartridge. with the armscor 40gr bullet and 3.5gr of titegroup were getting 22mag velocities with minimal report and good accuracy. I haven't tried going all the way down to CB levels yet. I do have a 55gr casting mold that I was going to try at subsonic speeds but just can't find the time to get around to it. |

I have seen folks jury rig 10/22 magaiznes to do odd ball things, so I wouldn't see MUCH besides length issues with a standard 10/22 although a 22magnum version would be more usefull. |

come again? 2600 ft/sec from a 22 short rimfire case? c-4 as in the explosive compound aka plastic explosive?
pocketshaver I'm dabbling in those waters as well with my SBR still ironing things out. broke a bit in the barrel drilling the gas port so on hold till I figure out how to get it out without enlarging the hole did test fire it and with the 6" barrel I'm getting 2650-2700 ft/sec with a 40gr bullet! absolutely blew my goal of 2400 out of the water. I'll be using ppsh 43 mags to feed the shorty's and plan to try standard mags with the 80gr subsonic's. they hand cycle so hoping it will work.
