Is a 22 rifle considered a rimfire rifle?

Yes, if somebody says ".22 rifle" they almost certainly mean a rifle chambered for the .22 long rifle (or .22LR) round. The .22LR is a rimfire, as are the .22 short, .22 long, .22 CB, the .22WRF (Winchester Rim-Fire), and even the .22 Magnum (properly called the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire or .22 WMR). There are other calibers of rifles that use bullets about the same bore size, but they have different names. They are higher-powered calibers. They are centerfire rounds, not rimfires. Examples would be the .22 Hornet; .222 and .223 Remington, .220 Swift, and .22-250.

Which is more powerful a 223 calibre rifle or a 22 calibre rifle?

It depends. A '.22' rifle, if you mean centrefire, includes alot of calibres as the term is generally used to mean any ammunition loaded with a .224 calibre bullet.Such calibres include .222 Rem, .223 rem, .22-250, .22BR, .22 Dasher and plenty of others.Of these, the .22-250 is by far the most powerful. It is essentially a .250 Savage case necked down to take a .224 bullet and so holds alot more powder than any other '.22' round.In terms of foot pounds of energy, a .223 Remington will generally produce about 1,200 FPE whilst the .22-250 will produce about 1,750 FPE.************However, if by "22 rifle" you are referring to the RIMFIRE .22, such as .22 LR, the .223 is much more powerful.
