Dante,

I can't think of any .22" calbre training rounds off hand. There was the .297/230 subcalibre training round that fitted the Morris tube inserts.

Here's a link to Joes Long Lee post which came with its Morris tube.

Then of course there was the classic .310" cadet that went with the Martini Cadet training rifles.

I thought I had some pictures from some earlier posts but the must have gone with ez board.

Here's a link to the .310" round as discussed in the handloading forum.

I seem to remember that there were .297/230 Francotte(?) cadet rifles in Australia. Real miniature Martini-Henrys . I hasten to add that I don't remember using them, not being quite that ancient

Relative to the above: when in doubt belt a ? into Google.

Francotte Cadet Rifle brought up some interesting sites.
