.22 Pope RF cartridge?
Yesterday at 10:56pm
Print Post  
A friend is doing some research into Stevens pocket rifles and he came across a reference in a old Stevens catalog that said they were chambered in .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Pope RF. He asked me if I'd ever heard of a .22 Pope RF cartridge. I hadn't. Did this cartridge exist or is the catalog referring to a rifle with Pope rifling?

Spud. Peters cartridge company produced a box marked 
.22 STEVENS POPE ARMORY as recommended by Pope.
I have long sold the box but its pictured in the Respectfully Yours H M Pope book by Gerald Kelver on page 78.
I suspect this what is referred to.

They were produced by Peters from 1904-05 to about 1915, when the ammo companies switched to wartime production.  They were marketed for National Guard units (and others) who had purchased Stevens-Pope (or other) barrels converting their Krags to .22 LR.

They were an early match-grade .22 Long Rifle.
