One of the local electrical houses has a plaque with various items
marked as fuse replacements, and their amp ratings

empty 22lr cartridge was rated at 50 amps
16penny nail was rated at 100 amps
etc etc etc..


So -- what is the rating for a still loaded .22LR? It would
probably cook off at some lower current than the empty could handle. I
guess that it could count as a slow-blow in that mode. :-)

Enjoy,
