They both go "bang".
If you go by the amount of ammunition made each year it is the .22 Long Rifle.
IF a rifle is chambered in caliber .35y magnum, yes. Among others, Marlin made a lever action .357 magnum rifle.
sure can.
Yes! It will actually shoot any .22 amo besides magnum of coarse. I fire .22 short, .22 long rifle and the ocasionaul .22 long rifle that I buy used. The gun is pretty durible, it's a good gun.
It depends on the gun. The question is a little to vague.
22 Long Rifle
No, you can not shoot a 32 bullet out of a 38 gun. You should always make sure that you have the proper ammunition before you shoot your gun so that you are safe while shooting.
Put it into the gun it was designed for and shoot a target with a safe backstop. That's the only sane thing to do with live ammunition.
her fathers gun
NEVER FIRE AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON IT IS NOT CHAMBERED FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, No, NO
If you have the ammunition and know how to take care of it... have at it.
Have it checked out by a competent gun smith.
