Same reason why I had resevations about getting one. I might think about using one though as a varmint round in areas where over penetration might be a factor; if it survives as a manufactured gun and caliber.

3030,
You say its perfect for small game. What kind of damage does it do on impact? If it blows things up it kind of becomes a varmint round unless you don' t eat your small game and then why would you kill it anyways. Not being critical just asking as I would not mind one but if it blows rabbits to jello then it would not do what I want of it.
As one reply to those who are putting the round down. One It ain' t a " suped up pellet gun " any more than a .22WMR is; just besause they also make .22cal pellet guns too.
And what makes this round unworthy of a being owned by a " RIFLEMAN" just becaise it is a rimfire and not reloadable? That would put the .22lr, which I consider one of the rifleman' s off season/indoor practice rounds in the same category.
Heck, I don' t know why I' m defending a caliber I have not owned or shot yet.
But I' ll just state that just because I don' t see a need for myself owning say either a .22/250 or a .458Win.Mag. dose not mean they don' t have a purpose for existing.
