.22 lr bullet /case ?

[BULLET 05]

Is a .22 L/R bullet seated and crimped in the case just like a center fire cartridge?

No. A LR slug, below the drive band, has a smaller diameter hollow based skirt that, when fired, expands to seal the bore.

Well, I don't quite agree with the no crimp part of your explanation. Most 22 shells show a fairly pronounced crimped mouth around the bullet. jd

If you check most, you will see a crimp.

Maybe you need to re read my post, nobody said anything about the lack of crimp, OP if they were done “just like a CF” and as I stated they are not like a CF. Obviously RF’s are crimped, they are a two diameter slug pre ignition.

OK Tim, I get your meaning now. jd
