Spot On there with the Sharp marketingI’m thinking of the reason for this. Im going off the premise that there is a valid reason.
It could be just to lay claim to the moniker “sharps” in a Rimfire.

Newb on OSA: My 10-22 shoots all over the target. Help!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
The article says it has the same working pressure and case dimensions.
What will this one do that the 22 lr does not do?
Yet another solution to a problem that didn’t exist.
I wonder if this John guy on the article's comment board has a point... heeled bullets and such are beyond me. Sounds like a legit reason though. If I am understanding things right, this 21 sharps is just a parallel of producing straight wall deer cartridges for those weird states up north like the 350 legend and the 360 butthummer or whatever. Should also be easy to rebarrel existing platforms for it, as it uses the same case and similar pressures of a 22lr.I’m thinking of the reason for this.

I get what the guy’s saying, but Winchester is still only catering to a very small segment of the shooting public. I hope it works out for them and is profitable, but I won’t be jumping on the new whiz bang cartridge bandwagon…same with the 350, 360, 400 whatever straight wall thing.I wonder if this John guy on the article's comment board has a point... heeled bullets and such are beyond me.
