Bullet Points: 5.6x52 Rimmed Ammo

Also known as the .22 Savage High Power and the .22 Imp, the 5.6x52mmR was developed by Charles Newton in 1912.
Savage Arms produced the cartridge and chambered their popular Model 99 lever action rifle for it.
It was initially popular among hunters around the world for its accuracy, and soon hunters were using it to harvest game animals of all kinds – including deer and safari animals like tigers.
Hunters eventually asked the cartridge to perform beyond its capabilities, where it failed and then fell from the good graces of the hunting community.
