A rimfire firing pin produces a notch at the edge of the case; a centerfire pin produces a depression in the center of the primer. Rimfire ammunition is so named because the firing pin strikes and crushes the base's rim to ignite the primer. The rim of ...
The unpopularity of the bottlenecked case led Stevens to develop the .25-21 in 1897. Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry, the .25-21 Stevens was essentially a shortened version of the company's own .25-25 of 1895.
