I am looking at a old 1885 low wall in 22WCF and found a chart that shows the dimension of this old cartridge compared to Remington and Winchester 22 Hornet dimensions. It shows the 22WCF bullet diameter as .226. The rifle I'm looking at says it has an excellent bore and I want it for a shooter. I'm a little concerned about the larger bore. I assure the rifling twist is slower than todays 22 Hornet offerings.
My question is, does anyone have knowledge or experience with the old WCF chambering? I would be interesting to hear your experience. Thanks
