22 Super PDC question

[TleeO]

A friend of mine has a gun shop and he recently took in a rifle we can't really find any information on. It's a Remington 600 chambered in 22 Super PDC. I found a few things online. It looks like a 243 Ackley Improved necked down to 22 caliber. Does anyone have any info on this caliber?

Does it have a ribbed barrel? Those are pretty awesome little carbines.

Not sure of 22 super pcd. I'm curious if the barrel has its rib, therefore it should be the original barrel.

It does not have a ribbed barrel and I checked the barrel multiple times. It's definitely 22 Super PDC.

Very interesting cartridge, sounds like someone somewhere might have swapped out the barrel.

The model 7 took over the 600, but I don't think Remington made them in any wildcats. Mostly common cartridges.

im guessing a custom barrel, it looks like Redding used to make dies for it...

and then an obscure mention of it in a book....

You might be able to log in over there and save that book photo or even PM the guy for more pics from that book. Your friend does have a rifle for it... but my guess its an obsolete wildcat. Not certain what anyone could do with the rifle chambered for it now without dies.
When I looked at the velocities though, dang... well over 4000fps. Impressive.

Not sure if you're talking rifles, or Trojans…..
