Reuben Harwood
Reuben Harwood was an American gunwriter and cartridge designer from Somerville, Massachusetts, at the end of the 1800s.
Among his notable developments was the.22 Harwood Hornet, a predecessor of the modern.22 Hornet cartridge. Harwood's cartridge, unlike the modern Hornet, was formed by necking down.25-20 Winchester brass to.22 caliber, and was initially loaded with black powder. Further innovations of his included work on an auxiliary chamber, and experiments with.25 caliber rifle cartridges.
