International Ammunition Association Web Forum. (2015, October 18). https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/22-ilarco/16730/21 History Sometime after the Illinois Arms Company, Inc. (ILARCO) purchased the rights to the American-180 they determined a more powerful cartridge would be appropriate, which resulted in the creation of the .22 ILARCO. The new cartridge was designed so that a simple change of barrel was all that was required to switch between standard .22 Long Rifle, for which the gun was designed, and the new cartridge. Dimensions and loading The .22 ILARCO uses a shorter version of the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire case, which use the same 40 gr g on projectile as the original .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge.
