Why would anyone want a .22 rf highwall in the first place? With our without a pope-esque chopping?

A low wall does it so much better, so much easier. For some other things maybe - a .25-20 for instance. Though a low wall does that just fine too. In the modern cartridges I guess there is a need. But a highwall feels mighty good to me. The thin=tanged low wall must feel pretty close to a 90% highwall and I find the thin-tanged LW a bit too skinny for my fairly normal hands.
