What do you get when you cross a ...

I shot my .222 Super 14 today and got to feeling sorry for myself because the rimless brass is so much harder to get off the extractor than all my other centerfire barrels that have rims.  I got to looking at all the .30-.30 brass I have and got to thinking that they could be necked down to .22 or even .17 and make something neat.  Then I thought that with the creative folks here it must have been done at some time already.

What's it called, and how did it work?

Thanks.

they already have a 30-30 necked down to 22 cal. It is in the same class as the 22-250

There was a factory .22 based on the .30-30, the .225 Winchester.

There is also the .224BRM, more of an "improved" 30-30 case. Blown out body taper, with a 30degree(?) maybe 35^ shoulder. Which is a brainchild of Eben Brown (eabco). But Eben is alittle touchy on rechamber jobs. If the exsisting chamber isn't perfectly straight to the bore, he won't waste your money or his time. But,,,
Another option, would be Mike Sirois, of On Target Technologies (MBMCO).
He use EDM machining, rather than reamers. And if there is enough to "clean up" can rechamber using desired case dimensions.
As for the rest, I don't have any personal experience with what you are thinking.  But do agree, that performance would be close to the 22-250, with about any wildcat designed on the 30-30 full length case.

Thanks for the replies.  I knew that it had to have been tried before.  I need to get into reloading so I can do some of this work.

Thanks again.  What a great resource this is!
