So ive been wasting time surfing the net looking at guns and cartridges and i got to thinking why is that you never see 22 hornets in lever guns. I have always wanted a hornet ever since i was a little kid. No reason really other than i just wanted one and while most other cartridges will put the hornet to shame it would still be a good walking around plinking gun. Looking at the case it seems as if it would work in a lever gun, i mean it has a tapered body with very shallow shoulders similar to other lever gun cartridges like 30-30 or .219 zipper. I know that the .218 bee and the .219 zipper have been produced so why not the hornet? Is there any physical reason that one would not work well in a lever action?
