A Hi-Point carbine in this round will become hugely popular.
I'd be interested to see that test also--but we'd have to come up with a barrel...I'd also pay for a box of .223 Timbs to test!

The .223 Timbs is the result of a co-development between Quality Cartridge and Joseph Timbs. It is the American answer to the proprietary .224 BOZ, bringing the CZ-52 into the new millenium. The .223 Timbs is a special loading of the 7.62x25 round for use only in the CZ-52 pistol. It consists of a sabot like the Remington Accelerator© pushing a 50gr bullet over 2000fps. Concept was for devastating multi-purpose round, useable for small game, varmits, and defense. Accuracy has proven to be on-par with traditional rounds fired from the same pistol, and terminal ballistics are quite impressive with initial tests showing devastating expansion from the varmit-type bullets.
I didn't know that, I should have done some research before responding.It's a sabot round. Uses the regular barrel.
I did know that there was a .22 round based on the 7.62x25mm, but I really hadn't looked into it much. I had assumed that it was a necked down cartridge, not an "accelerator" round. Looks like there's one of each!JohnKSa, you may have been thinking of the 22 reed express.
