Same reason the .357mag & .44mag are longer than their brothern: older guns aren't built to handle the extra pressure. Should one shoot a hopped up .22LR in great-grandad's old shingle shot, it wouldn't be very safe!
Unfortunately mfgrs have to factor in various "idiot factors" when designing new calibers & ammo. |

That is why you notice that the various hyper velocity 22s out there say that they should only be used in modern firearms in good working order.

I do understnd the idiot factor, but even the hyper-velocity ar not even half full, and they sacrifice bullet weight for velocity.
I need to start rloading my own .22 (j/k) WL |

Squirrells with long claws live here in GA, personally I'd shoot them with a .45acp if it were legal!!!
