THE .22 WINCHESTER RIMFIRE
For various reasons this is a better hunting cartridge than either of those mentioned above. It has more power, driving a forty-five grain bullet with seven grains of powder. The bullet is seated in the shell with no lubricant exposed, wherein it has the advantage of the .22 short or the long-rifle, neither of which can be carried loose in the pocket. Moreover, it is a better cartridge for a repeating rifle since the ball is crimped to the shell and will not jerk out letting powder spill into the action. If sport can be had shooting such birds as quail, doves, and snipe, with a rifle, this cartridge would prove effective. Both pump and single-shot rifles are chambered for it in addition to the Colt revolver.
