The .22 Long rifle is a CARTRIDGE that is used in revolvers, pistols, and rifles. BULLET refers to the part of a cartridge that comes out of the barrel.

What is the difference between 22 caliber LR vs 22 magnum?

The .22 magnum is more powerful, longer and a larger diameter than the .22lr. The magnumcartridge does not use the "heel seated" bullet of the .22 LR, and USUALLY has jacketed bullets. The full name is .22 WMRF (Winchester magnum rim fire) and they do NOT interchange with .22 LR. There have been a few revolvers built with two different cylinders to permit switching between LR and Magnum.


Can you fire .22 ex lr bullets from a gun designed for .22 lr bullets?

In most cases, no. The .22 Extra Long is an obsolete cartridge that has not been manufactured in many years. The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire IS currently manufactured, but does not interchange with .22 LR. Despite the similar names, they are different diameters.


What bullets does a 22 revolver take?

A .22 revolver takes CARTRIDGES. Which .22 cartridge will depend on what caliber the revolver was made for. A .22 LR can shoot Long Rifle or Short cartridges, and a .22 WMR uses .22 magnum cartridges. They do not interchange. There are a few .22 revolvers that have 2 cylinders, and can shoot either cartridge.

Can it hurt the barrel if you shoot 22 LR bullets in a 22 magnum bolt action Marlin rifle?

You may hurt more than the barrel. The .22 magnum is a larger diameter CASE and BULLET than the .22 LR (22 is a name, not a measurement). When a LR cartridge is fired in a Magnum chamber, there is a high chance the casing will split, possibly blowing bits of metal and hot gasses out of the chamber. There ARE revolvers made that will shoot both- but they use different cylinders. Do not try this- it is dangerous.


Can you put a LR magnem cartridge in a 22?

Let's get the names straight- there are .22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridges, and there are .22 Magnum (.22 WMR) They DO NOT interchange (although there are a few revolvers with 2 cylinders that can CONVERT from one to the other). The.22 Magnum is not only more powerful, and longer, but it is larger in diameter than the .22 LR. SOME .22 LR firearms can safely short .22 Shorts, but LR and Magnum do not swap.


Can you shoot a 22 mag out of a 22 lr?

Some revolvers are capable of firing both cartridges, simply by replacing the cylinder. Not all revolvers can do this, however. As for a dedicated .22LR firearm not fed from a cylinder, the answer is going to be no.


Do they make a hand gun that will shoot a 22 caliber short?

Your .22 LR derringers should be able to fire .22 Long and .22 Short cartridges. It may be possible with .22 LR revolvers, but I would check the manufacturer's recommendations on this before trying it.

I don't think those revolvers were manufactured in .22 magnum. It will be marked, usually on the barrel, likely 22 lr or 22 s/l/lr for short, long, and long rifle.
