I as a cartridge collector am always buying carts that I dont have.I bought one in an envelope that was marked .14 Jones it appears to be a .22 long rifle necked to a .14 miniture cast bullet. I have the book cartridges of the world but it is not listed.
Does anyone have any ideas this one has me lost.

No referancs with me, but IIRC your discription is correct for the 14 Jones, that is a 22lr necked down to 14

I stand to be corrected but Alton Jones was a gunsmith in Oregon ( Pacific Northwest anyway )in the mid part of last century - 1950's- and made several proprietory calibre firearms both rimfire and centerfire. I recall a .265 centerfire as one of them .
The necked down .22 was based on the LR case , came in several shoulder-angle variants and is found with both solid and hollow point . Various manufacturers cases were used so there is more than one headstamp .

Hope that helps a little .

I am guessing that you mean the .22-3000 R2 Lovell cartridge , found with the Griffin and Howe headstamp ...?
If so - the cartridge dates from about 1934 , was developed by Hervey Lovell and was quoted as having a muzzle velocity of 3000fps with a 40 grain projectle. This is one of the many small calibre wildcat cartridges of the era , but differs from most in that factory produced and marked cartridge cases were produced for it , as opposed to most wildcats which use a parent case so headstamped .

I would guess that this is one of the better known wildcats , although the case headstamp incorrectley identifies the calibre name .
