The 21 Sharp and Appleseed

I'm wondering, is Appleseed contemplating the usage of the new 21 Sharp at 25M events?
What about at a Rimfire Known Distance?

Great question. At this time, we don't know if the 21 Sharp will have some of the safety concerns as some early 17 HMR rifles had when they first came out. So, I don't want to say definitively yes or no. Assuming there are no unforeseen issues, the answer would be yes, you can shoot it at a Project Appleseed event. To patch at a Rimfire KD you must shoot 22LR.

From what I have seen on YT it probably won't do very well accuracy wise.  I doubt that changes until someone other than Winchester makes ammo for it.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
