Gary could make you a .224 Kay-Chuck easily

The Single six would be an easy platform. Literally just a cylinder and window as big as possible and a .22 K-hornet reamer. You cut the brass back below the bullet ojive (about 1/2 the normal K-Hornet neck) to get the K-Chuck.

Using special 30 gr. bullets I worked my way up to 2150 fps. The 45 gr. ran out around 1750 fps where it got sticky in my K-22. I got 1.5" 50 yd. groups with it using a 2.5X Bushnell Phantom.

In that case a normal .22 WMR will push a 45 gr. at 1350-1400 fps from a Single-six 6.5". I've not checked the new 30 gr. faster versions. They are factory rated at 2250 fps from a 24" rifle. I figure maybe 1600-1650. 33 gr. LR CCI Stingers get 1400 fps.
