.22 CHeetah
The .22 CHeetah is a.22 wildcat cartridge developed in the 1970s or 1980s by Jim Carmichel and Fred Huntington.
The.22 CHeetah is essentially a Remington 308 BR, modified to fit the.22 caliber. Two custom gunmakers, Shilen Rifle Company and Wichita Engineering, are now making rifles specifically for the cartridge. The cartridge's 50-grain.22-caliber bullets have a muzzle speed upward of 4,300 ft/s, and the cartridge is known for its long-range accuracy and velocity. Its high intensity is notoriously hard on barrels, which require constant cleaning.
