Popular wildcat cartridgesoffer little improvement over existing factoryloads.

On th e oth er hand ,some very good .22s have a mild report andare quite accurate, but about every fifth shotwill be buzzing off into the lower forty to th edetriment of life and property.

Atkinsonand Marquart decid ed a new calibermight solve some of the problems posed byexisting rounds for varminters.A new developm ent in varmint cartridgesgenerally utilizes some standard caliber andhangs an existing cartridge case on theback, with a slight change in shape (usuallyan "improvement" that ha s alread y beentri ed and discard ed by severa l pr evious experimenters). Extravagant claim s are th enmad e for it, regarding accura cy, power anddevastating effect. The und eniable fact r eomai ns that any varmint cartridge of .22caliber or larger will have a projectil e weigh.ing at least 45 gra ins, traveling at 3000 Ips,and regardless of exact case sha pe, chargeweight or propella nt type , one of th e for e­going objection s will app ly.In view of these facts, A & M decided thatany definite improvement in thi s cla ss ofcar tr idge should have a bullet of per hap s 25grains, which could be propelled at a velocitywell in excess of 3000 fps without too sharp areport. It should be adeqnate for killing varmintsat medi um ranges, and should givefre edom from ricochet da nger. Obviou sly,
