OT-I think? Help ID..

[morgan in nm]

My camera is low on batteries so I don't have any pictures to post on this but I am trying to identify a jar full of .22 ammo that a nice lady gave me.

Its marked "U"
OAL=.906"
Diameter=.243"
Diameter of rim=.300"
Thickness of rim=.055"
I don't know what the projectile weighs as I really didn't want to pull any of them.

Looking through my Cartridges of the World, I think it is either 22 Win. Auto or 22 Rem Auto. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell the difference between the two.

Any help would be appreciated.

U is a Remington headstamp.

My Grandfather bought me about 10K rounds of Remington standard velocity .22lr @ 1970 or so. Took me about ten years to go through it all with
a single shot Savage, Stevens Favorite.

Still have it.


The picture blows but,
It's
Good stuff.

I bet it is Rem auto from your measurements. What rifles shot that caliber?

Thanks, Morgan.

Don't quote me, but I think it was interchangeable with the Winchester .22 auto in the 1903.
