Oh my GOD.
Now you've done it. You've all convinced CCA's own mad scientist/dreamer/gun nut to come blog with you.
Prepare for the onslought. All your Ortgies are belong to us.
You just *wait* till I've drawn and mocked up that .25acp Broomhandle mini-clone...

.25 because it's shorter, and with this style of action requiring 2x the cartridge OAL plus a little fudge room to function, every tenth of an inch matters.
It also keeps the magazines at right angles and very very thin. The .22 rim is ~.25" across and needs to stagger a little bit to keep the magazine in a perfect vertical plane, which increases the required width a little.
Yes, I know .25 has a semi-rim but it's not that extreme :)
There's also the little deal with having no JHP's for .22lr because of the heeled bullet design. .25 isn't going to be the mousegun everyone envisions with this design because I intend to have at least a 2.5" barrel. Long and thin, pen-like for concealment, so it's mistaken for *gasp* a pen, clipped into the pocket.
