Default 22 wildcat out of 30-30

Hi,
I am interested to hear if there has been any 22 wildcats made from the 30-30 case ? its close to the hornet in rim diameter and thought it may be able to be used with that bolt face , I tried a google search but couldnt find any info , Any pro's or con's with this brass ?

Cheers
Lowey

Default 30-30 case

Well the hornet head is .350,and the 30-30 is .422,The 30-30 has Been used and is still being used in many wildcat cartridges;20 & 22 cal Wasp,20 Classic,etc.Best in single shot,break open (TC) and falling block,actions,but has been used in bolt actions,for many years.

It isn't a wildcat but the 219 Zipper is a necked down 25/35 which in turn is a necked down 30/30. There are some "Improved" versions of the Zipper out there.

So I guess you could say that there are several wildcats related through the Zipper.

Default 30-30 wildcat

I've got a Encore barreled rifle in 22/30-30AI. The guy I bought the barrel from took a new Encore 223 Varmint barrel and had OTT rechamber it. I haven't shot it much, capacity is slightly less than a 22-250 so I imagine performance is also slightly less. I also have a 25-35 and a 219 Zipper on Contender barrels, both can use the 30-30 case as a parent, just easier to buy them in their finished size. EABCO has a full line of cartridges based on the 30-30 parent, they call them the BRM's. Have to say the 22 Hornet casehead size is nowhere near the 30-30.

Default 30 carbine case

The .30 Carbine case is closer than the 30/30. It has also been a wild cat base. Foxhunter played with it some if memory has not failed me.

Dozens, both full length and shortened different amounts, going back into the 1920's and 30's.

Not even close. Here is a good place to compare catridge dimensions.
