Maybe kind of an odd question, but anyway: I wonder whether anyone has ever tried to make a centerfire version of .22lr? What I have in mind is that while .22lr is still the most common caliber around, it is by most people seen as limited to recreational, plinking, varmint etc. also due to the pressure and reliability restrictions that come with the very idea of rimfire.
I always thought it would be cool to have a centerfire cartridge in the same dimensions that could be used in the same (plentifully available) guns by just swapping the firing pin. For training, one could still employ the cheap rimfire, for carry, SD or the like, the centerfire version with maybe a little more pressure (and thus velocity / energy) and certainly more reliability could be used...
I know it is an unlikely concept that most certainly nobody gas conceived so far, but it's not completely nonsense, imho...
