In short, SKOOKUM magazine fit.
Yep.
But, with a .22 CM, that may not be as critical as with the 6.5 CM. Those 6.5 bullets are a lot longer than even the longest .224's.
I think the clincher for a .22 CM would be 8 twist, as we've discussed and the quality of OTC ammo, much like the 6.5 CM concept.
It's the total package that sells, as I noted earlier. And, with the right rifles on dealer's shelves, I think it would go over well.
As with most stuff, it's all about marketing. And, this round would be an easy one to tout, as those of us who shoot fast twist .224's already know.
