Interesting. Did not know these exist. Where do they get primed rimfire brass?

[Wheellock]

This guy is in one of my FB groups, does a lot of cool experiments. I'm a little tempted to try it out.

[LazyJ]

there are rim fire brass out there to be experimented with. not worth the hassle in my opinion.

I can't see these being loaded into a magazine of any sort, much less cycling. Even in a bolt my expectation is these are too long.

They sell shorter lighter .22 copper LR bullets too: https://cuttingedgebullets.com/curx-...r-bundle-200ct

Interesting......

The twist rate on a typical rimfire is too slow to stabilize these bullets. So it's catered to the long range rimfire crowd.

Yes. It states that a 1:7 twist is required for these bullets, here: https://cuttingedgebullets.com/curx-...r-bundle-200ct
