While it seems the same caliber and the round is "almost" the same size, the answer is no. Not safely. The .22lr round does not extend long enough for the round to enter the throat of the barrel. When fired there is a split second where the round has to "find the hole" This can lead to excessive breech pressure and excessive leading at the throat and begining of the rifleing. The other drawback is the extractor will not reliably remove the spent cartridge.
