It looks kinda like a real niche thing , guess for folks that need something a little bigger then a .17 but faster then a .22 ? And apparently it uses better bullets ... Maybe would be good for people.in non tox states or where they have the rimfire deal for predator hunting ? That or just something for the NRL rimfire comp guys ? There's also the ELR rimfire people... But as far as the average guy.... Meh YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

Agreed Now if only someone would take on the 5mm magnum and get that one sorted out and brought back. The 17hmr wasn't the answer. It only beats 22wmr in velocity/trajectory. The 5mm hits harder and is faster than the 22wmr.

I was in a quandry 5 years ago when I was looking at 17s. I had done a lot research and reading on both cartridges. The fella at cabelas was really pushing that WSM. At that time, there wasnt a dollars difference between a box of HMR and WSM ammo. I just wasnt confident at the time if WSM was gonna make it long term. Im glad I went with HMR. Ammo for the WSM has diminished and gone up in price if you can find it. Better load up heavy if you get the chance....

Yes, Rem did great cartridge development work but were absolute masters of terrible marketing decisions. The .21 Sharp looks like a solution in search of a problem.

If memory serves me correctly the pressure it generates takes it out of the model 94 option. I have never seen a 94 chambered in 225. I have shot several M70’s in 225 and they were all good shooters and almost identical in performance to the 22-250. The biggest blow to the 225 was it was introduced in 1964 in the new M70 that everyone hated. CK

He took the barrel off and put a 30-30 barrel on it. Between trying to find flat nose 22 cal bullets and having to load them down to keep from blowing the lever auction up, he felt it was a waste. He just bought a 225 in a Winchester high wall. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

Despite having a modern straight taper design, the round was eclipsed by the older .22-250 Remington, already a popular wildcat introduced commercially a year later. The .225 Winchester was chambered in factory rifles by Winchester (Models 70 and 670) and Savage (Model 340). All commercially produced rifles chambered in .225 Winchester were turn-bolt or break actions. Winchester ceased producing rifles chambered in .225 Winchester in 1971, however seasonal production of loaded ammunition and brass continues by Winchester. Reloading dies for the round are readily available. The .225 Winchester's case is a parent case for some of SSK Industries'[3] popular line of JDJ cartridges designed by J.D. Jones, chosen for its strength and semi-rimmed design which makes it well suited for use in break-open actions.[4]

If Winchester is too ignorant to know that, then we should make shovel and rake handles out of every rifle they have ever produced. On top of that, 1.5 MOA is lousy. I'm out.

So if I'm matching right...basically like 1" groups ..... Why they use moa at sub 100yd distance? Idk guess they like sounding fancy ? Buzzwords .... 100yd plus 1moa = 1" @100 2" @200 3" @300 roughly but you get the picture YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

They are trying to pee down my back and tell me that it is raining. Then they are flat out lying that 22 rounds on the market are inferior to their 1.5 MOA rounds. I wouldn't give 1.5 MOA rounds to somebody's kid that I don't like.
