219 zipper cadet?

[andym79]

Hi guys, on the same vein as all my previous question, would a 219 zipper be too much for a cadet action?

Is it a bad combination of base size and pressure?

Would run it light <32000 psi be okay or too much?

In Frank deHaas' book on single shot rifles he mentions something about this, stating that strength is not really a problem, but cartridge size is. However, deHaas thought a .219 Zipper chambering was probably okay.

I think the strength should be fine, and probably the thickness of metal in the barrel thread if you use conventional Zipper loads rather than treat it like a .225 Winchester. It will give less recoil and less trouble inserting cartridges under a scope than cartridges wider at the front, such as the .32 Winchester Special some have used. But you don't really lose anything to worry about, with a .22 centrefire in the .375 head size.
