HISTORICAL NOTES 
The Weatherby line of proprietary cartridges was somewhat incomplete for lack of an ultra-velocity .22. The previous .220 Weatherby Rocket was actually an Improved wildcat based on the .220 Swift case, and Weatherby never manufactured this cartridge.&nbsp;The .224 Varmint master was introduced in 1963, but, according to the late Roy Weatherby, development work went back 10 years prior to that.&nbsp;Introduction of the cartridge was delayed because of lack of a suitable action. The cartridge was offered in a reduced-size version of the Weatherby Mark V rifle, but the gun is no longer available. Weatherby continues to sell the ammunition.

GENERAL COMMENTS
The .224 Weatherby lies ballistically between the .223 Remington and the&nbsp;.220 Swift. It's a belted case with the advantages and disadvantages inherent in this type of construction.
For the handloader, it mitigates certain headspace and case-stretch problems and should provide maximum case life. It's an excellent long-range varmint cartridge with performance&nbsp;similar to the .22-250 Remington. Its popularity was determined largely by economic factors. One could buy a Remington, Ruger or Winchester boltaction in .22-250 for much less than a .224 Weatherby.
It was the smallest belted case manufactured commercially. GDTM
