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.

Can you shoot 22 calibar bullets in a 25 handgun?

No. The .22 is smaller in diameter than the .25 and would be too small for the chamber of a .25. Generally speaking, you should never try to fire any cartridge in any handgun other than what it is designed to fire. While it may be possible to get a cartridge to fire from a different gun, it may cause damage to the gun or the shooter. Additionally, I forgot to mention that the .22 is a rimfire cartridge and the .25 is a center fire, the the firing mechanism is slightly different in the two guns.


Can a 25 caliber round be fired from a 22 caliber gun?

The answer to the question is no. A .25 is larger in diameter than a .22 so it won't fit into the chamber. Beyond the question, you should never try to insert or fire a cartridge in any gun other than what the gun is designed to fire. If you do get it to fire, it may cause damage to the gun or the shooter.

Can you shoot a 22 caliber bullet from a 9mm handgun?

The short answer is no. You should never attempt to fire any cartridge in a gun other than what it is designed for. The longer answer is, you may possibly be able to get a .22 cartridge to fire from a 9mm, but it could damage the gun or the person shooting it.


Can you put 22 caliber bullets in 25 caliber Rigarmi handguns?

You should never try to fire anything in any gun other than what it is designed to shoot. The .22 rounds will most likely not fit into the magazine or feed into the pistol. If they do, it can be dangerous if it actually fires. Additionally, .25 ACP is a centerfire cartridge where .22s are rimfire.


Can a 22 magnum shoot 22 long rifle bullets?

NO! The .22 mag case is larger in diameter than the .22 long rifle case thus the chamber of a .22 mag gun is too large for a .22 long rifle bullet. If the bullet does fire, the case will split with unpleasant and innaccurate results.
