I am not sure if it was an ancient GUNS magazine, or GUNS & AMMO, or maybe even SHOOTING TIMES, but the old, (and now late) writer and gunsmith named Skeeter Skelton (a contemporary of George C. Nonte) did a .22 wildcat in a Luger, and I am pretty sure it was based on the .30 Luger case that was necked down to .22 and he used .22 hornet sized bullets...

I don't have that magazine anymore, I am sure it was from the late 1960's or early 1970's... I lost most of my paper gun magazine holdings in a basement flood decades ago... But I remember the article for sure! maybe one of you guys has an old cache of those magazines?
