The CPA Version?

It is a rimmed 222, straight tapered to a .285 bullet. More like a 30-30 Wesson. 357 maximum could also work but is a little short.

Seems to have pretty good potential, have not spent enough time with it. Works well with the MOS Mould CPA sells and also the 135 grain Hoch.

Thanks for the replies. The cases (.222R) are available from Northern Shooters Supply and I want rimmed case for a 44 1/2 action. Just an idea percolating. Appreciate all input.

Oh, so you're setting the barrel back.  

In that case have you though about the .28-35?  It's a .25-35 blown out to .28 cal.  I think it was developed by Jerry Hartwig.  

They were discussing it in the gunsmithing forum a while ago.

If nothing else, cases would be a lot less expensive.

Thanks, Smoke. I did follow the thread on the .28-35. Impressive! That is under consideration. Curious about the smaller capacity case of the .222.

I have a Martini .30/222 rimless ,my mate developed it in 1974 to shoot the German ring match 200 mts @ Hahndorf ,He ran a jacketed round either 155 or 168 gn pill at about 2000 fps, I now shoot it as a cast only rifle ,BS 150 gn PB @ 1500 fps very accurate cast bullet gun. The 222 case necked up works, Mal in au.
