There's always somebody selling the 4mm short and long rimfires on Auction Arms under Collectable Ammo and fairly resonable prices. There are some even smaller cartridges like the 2.7Kolrobi(sp) but don't expect them to be cheap or even common place.

There is always the 2mm pinfire blank for the watchchain pistol - dont come much smaller than that....

In keeping with the thread, is it okay to piggyback a question? Is there an actual shotshell smaller than the 9mm rimfire round? Discounting of course such rounds as the 22LR with birdshot.
Just wondering.

I have a 6mm and 7mm RF shotshells, along with a 9mm Short and standard (both all brass and paper/brass versions of the "std) and 310Rem shotshell. There is also a 9mm centerfire shotshell (I don't have that one).
There may be others that I'm not aware of (did they ever make a shot version of the 25 Stevens?)

Short44 on the way to you is a pinfire to use in the little bitty gun, 4mm Lang, 6mm Flobert, 22-3000 G&H, 9mm Winchester shotshell, and a 401 Herters Mag. Send me $5 for my time and trouble. Butch

To the best of my knowledge,the .20 caliber Wingo is the smallest shell designed for a shotgun.

Winchester introduced it in the 1970s for indoor mini skeet shooting.

I have a .14 jones it looks like the palm of your hand would stop it but it would probably hurt even less than a .25 automatic.

its not for sale but if you keep watching this forum Ill keep you posted if I get a hold of another.they are kinda hard to find check out the cartridge shows if you want to see some really incredible cartridges. I have been collecting since I was a kid and finally went to a show by myself because I dont know anyone else who does it.All my buddies want to go but
are not as interested as i am.I kid you not if you go to one you will feel embarrased as to what has been available and offered to the public,experimental,military,and all else it is boggeling. nut bewildered nut

Put www.cartridgecollectors.org on you favorates list, and attend the shows listed there. St. Louis is the big one (early April), but the others are worthwhile. You can also post your request on there forum, someone may have one for sale.

I've seen pictures of a .22 LR that was necked down to .10 caliber(rimfire central IIRC), but know of nothing smaller.
