The round is known in the US as .22 Jet, .22 Center Fire Magnum/.22 CFM or .22 Rem Jet. Development Developed jointly by Remington and Smith & Wesson, it was to be used in the Model 53 revolver, which first appeared late in 1961. While it traced its origins to potent wildcats such as the .224 Harvey Kay-Chuk,Barnes, p.148, ".22 Remington Jet", & p.131, ".224 Harvey Kay-Chuk". which ultimately derive from the .22 Hornet, it was a bottlenecked cartridge based upon the .357 Magnum case necked down to a .22 caliber bullet, with an unusually long tapered shoulder. By 1972, the Model 53 remained the only revolver chambered for it, while Marlin in 1972 was planning a lever rifle in .22 Jet. The .22 Jet was also a factory chambering for the Thompson/Center Contender and the design allowed for it to reach its full potential, having no cylinder gap and no case setback.March 2025 Usage The .22 Jet was designed as a flat-shooting hunting round for handguns, and it is suitable for handgun hunting of varmints and medium game out to 100 yd (90 m). The 2460 ft/s (750 m/s) and 535 ft-lbf (725 J) claimed for factory test loads did not prove out in service weapons. thumb|.22 Remington Jet dimensions See also .22 Hornet .22 Spitfire .221 Remington Fireball List of cartridges by caliber 5mm caliber FN 5.7×28mm References Sources Barnes, Frank C., ed. by John T.
