Second, the strength of the brass rim would be a factor to consider as well, as the round would have to be a very low pressure round, ergo, serious lack of power.



This is the main reason the RF's over .22 cal. are all gone! Like the .44 Henry!

The old Swedish 12,7 mm Remington Rolling block Army rifle was a rimfire. http://medlem.spray.se/Coonan/1217x42R/1217x42R.html

In the 1930s there was a fair amount of discussion in the American Rifleman about a high velocity .25 Stevens. I don't recall if any test ammo was ever made up or any rifles were built. I am too lazy to go look in my old magazines.
