Here is their patent on a 33 round .22 LR magazine that can fit in the grip of a pistol. Rimmed cartridges can work in large capacity magazines, but they need to be designed right.

The patent concept seems sound.

OK. Let them make it and let's see how it works and I would consider one of the two for a particular role, 'specially if they make one with a threaded barrel after the Hearing Protection Act becomes law, if they can work out the bugs that we hear about sometimes.

Seems like making an autoloader anything in .22 magnum has some challenges associated with it that I don't really understand. I've heard about case head separation, etc. Has Savage found a solution to these problems, at least in a carbine/rifle in the A22? (Rhetorical question; time will tell.)

My problem is I don't necessarily have the budget to do my own field testing...

OTOH Ruger already makes the SR-22 with a threaded barrel, etc.

10 rounds of .22lr, or 30 rounds of .22wmr, but some question the reliability, is it worth the difference? Life is full of trade-offs and none more apparent than in one's choice of weapons, especially handguns.
