This isn't a new idea.
Long long ago in a galaxy far far away the was a gun company that made a full auto .22 rifle known as an American 180. It used a drum mag much like a Lewis Gun.
A big issue with it was gunk build up using standard 22lr ammo. At the rate of fire it ran it gunked up quickly and would MALF.
An new cartridge was introduced then to correct that. It was known as the .22 American.
It was just a .22mag cut down to 22lr length yet loaded with a jacketed 22mag bullet.
This eased the jamming issue but the ammo was too expensive.
It didn't catch on then. The cartridges themselves are collector items today.
Regardless, I will give these a try when they become available.
I have a 10/22 and some 110rd GSG mags that just might run better using this ammo.
