Winchester is coming out with a new rimfire round

[TANSTAAFL]

oh goodie
Another rimfire to compete with the 22lr.
How many times has this been tried since the civil war?

The article says it has the same working pressure and case dimensions.
What will this one do that the 22 lr does not do?

Saves Winchester money with less powder and lead. Will be sold at a higher price I suspect, because it's new.

Disturbing trend, anybody else notice calibers getting smaller and or lighter?

Lots of R&D there to just to introduce the .21LR lol.

Yet another solution to a problem that didn’t exist.

Winchester is beginning to sound like Dyson Vacuums, they fix problems with an overpriced vacuum that no one has.

looks like Winchester is trying to come out with the 21 sharp
21 SHARP - New Rimfire Cartridge from Winchester -

If it ain’t broke, why try to fix it?????

My thoughts exactly.

I can see all kinds of problems with feeding 21s into 22s and vice versa. The mix up in your ammo box or glove compartment alone... oh the horror!

it will probably be twice the price of .22lr if they want to make rimfire so bad they should make some of the obsolete stuff so guys can shoot their wall hangers that they dont make ammo for anymore
