Can We Adapt 22 shorts, pull out slugs, use as primers?

Where's there a will there is a way, lots of 22s being mfgd by 55 gal drums by CCI.

209 shotgun primers are center strike.
22's are rim. youd have to modify your firing pins to wedges instead of pointed.
youd also have no flash hole or cover, causing powder to contact the primer directly.
remember back in the day the infamous 109 and star *57's? they didnt have flash hole covers and were intended for flake powder only.
answer....no.

 

Use Fingernail Polish over modified 22 shells, Ingenuity, the whole base of 22s are filled with primer product, goes under the rims to flash. Nobody knows what a center firing pin will do!!!! I think Primer Holes will need enlarged for the 22s that will need modified, Yankee Enguinity 22s same height as primers.
crimped 22s modified

Hold my beer and watch this

 

im out.
life is too short to fool with crazy ideas.
at least mine is....and im a yankee.

 

DLS,

 

maybe im blind, but the last time i looked at a shotgun primer, they are bell shaped . 22's are straight wall. how in sam houstons name would you jam one in a shotgun hull?
geesh.

 

as mentioned earlier...unless you redesign your shotgun to have rimfire firing pins, the idea is dead in the water.
shotgun shells are centerfire in design.
