I have a Winchester low wall single shot rifle caliber in 22 WCF, I cannot find ammunition anywhere, someone told me I can chamber to 22 Honest, is it possible to do that?

Sam,
You cannot rechamber from 22 WCF to 22 “Hornet”, but the 22 Hornet cartridge case can be used to make 22 WCF cartridges, as it only needs to be necked up a few thousanths to accept the .228 diameter bullet needed for the 22 WCF bore. The two cartridge cases are identical in all dimensions except for the case mouth diameter.
