A rimfire .22 Long Rifle cartridge, HV stands for High Velocity. Early .22 rimfires were black powder- when the load was changed to smokeless powder (which drove the bullet faster) some older guns could not shoot them without failing. The HV designation means they can shoot standrd modern day ammo.

Can a gun labeled for cal22LR HV handle both regular cal22 or regular cal22LR instead?

Yes. The original .22 rimfire cartridges were low velocity- black powder. When this changed to smokeless powder, it gave a high velocity (HV) which caused wear and tear on older guns. Guns were marked HV to indicate they could use the new ammo. It should be able to fire standard .22 Long Rifle cartridges. I would not shoot hypervelocity ammo such as Stingers or Yellow Jackets in an older gun.
