Not to mention, they'd also have to find a powder slow enough to burn for the full length of maybe an eight-foot barrel to use that large a charge efficiently behind a .22 bullet.... Werhner von Braun, where are you when we need you....?

A .378 Weatherby necked down to .224"? How about a .50 BMG necked down to .17? There is a practical limit to such silliness where a cartridge becomes a bomb. Such cartridges give a new meaning to "single shot" rifle. BOOM, clang, ding. The clang and ding are action parts hitting the firing line. P.O. Ackley wrote the cartridge was as much a stunt as experiment. Just the process of necking the case down to .224 makes me cringe and my hands ache.
