shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal? I have dug alot of shell casings but this one caught my eye as I was about to toss it out. There was another .22 cal shell casing next to it and it was obvious that they were different sizes. Has anyone seen a bullet so close to this popular cal and yet slightly larger than a .22? I inserted the .22 shell casing inside the larger one to show the difference in size better. It has no apparent head stamp.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619724#msg-1619724Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:00:47 -0500 Phorum 5.2.18 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1626030#msg-1626030 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1626030#msg-1626030
The photo I posted with a penny in the pic shows a .25 Stevens Long which is the closest one to the penny, if only you imagine that as a Short and next to the .22 Long Rifle(the longer silver colored casing) it would match the sizes in the original pic I posted.]]> Aarong81 Whatzit ForumWed, 25 Jan 2012 15:01:28 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1625846#msg-1625846 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1625846#msg-1625846 Pops Whatzit ForumWed, 25 Jan 2012 09:11:12 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1622493#msg-1622493 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1622493#msg-1622493 Jayong63 Whatzit ForumThu, 19 Jan 2012 19:39:09 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619987#msg-1619987 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619987#msg-1619987

It is definately not the same as the .25 Stevens rimfire but the Cal does look the same compared to the .22's pictured. Can someone post a photo of a .25 rimfire that has the same length as a .22 longrifle? The one I found is shorter than the .25 Stevens in this picture.]]> Aarong81 Whatzit ForumMon, 16 Jan 2012 01:55:45 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619954#msg-1619954 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619954#msg-1619954

The empty you found is a 22 special. Another rimfire like the 22 long rifle you have found, only a lot larger.

Does a 22 special have a larger cal bullet than a .22 long rifle? This casing is larger than .22 but only slightly, and I doubt that size difference would make it a .25 cal. There seems to be high votes on .25 cal so far though, so now its a debate. I love a good debate! lol....so far I'm leaning towards '22 special' only because it seems SO close to .22 Cal.

And yes, this is a rimfire casing. I found a larger rimfire, presumbly pistol, casing in the same area and it was probably between .25 to .30 Cal. Those are more common to find but I only posted this one because I havn't seen anything like it before.]]> Aarong81 Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 22:55:42 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619917#msg-1619917 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619917#msg-1619917 starvin Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 22:05:10 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619814#msg-1619814 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619814#msg-1619814 robertl1 Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 19:48:11 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619805#msg-1619805 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619805#msg-1619805 BMRockford Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 19:32:22 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619790#msg-1619790 Re: shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619790#msg-1619790 Larry (IL) Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 19:15:27 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619724#msg-1619724 shell casing slightly larger than .22 cal?http://www.findmall.com/read.php?40,1619724,1619724#msg-1619724 Aarong81 Whatzit ForumSun, 15 Jan 2012 18:01:54 -0600
