.22LR Sub-Caliber Barrel Insert

A dead center strike will not ignite a .22 rimfire. That is why they can be loaded in tubular magazines, head to tail.

(There is a reason why you will never see a lever action, tubular magazine centerfire caliber with a pointed bullet).

Doug - Can you explain the adapters like the one above? Or the .22 Luger barrels with the bore centered? (The Erma toggle won't fit).

There may be some .22 cartridges that have the primer applied like mentioned above.

There are center-fire rifles that load with tubular magazines. Winchesters come to mind. Blunt tipped bullets are recommended.

Doesn't matter. It will or it won't. Some may, some may not.
