Shooting Sports USA explains that the “Rimfire cartridge case” is the oldest self-contained cartridge and has been in continuous production since mid-1850s. Rimfire cartridges are made from thin pieces of brass and have a hollow rim. The case is then filled with a priming compound using centrifugal force. A powder is added to the case and the bullet is placed in its mouth. To ensure that the round is fired with sufficient push and pull, the case is crimped around it. The primer is ignited when the firing pin strikes the case’s thin brass rim. Source: SSUSA.org 9/2/2017.
