Can you shoot 22 wmr in a 22 lr rifle?
No. The case of a 22 WMR is longer than that of a 22 lr, so the
cartridge won't fit in a rifle that is chambered for 22 lr.

Can you put a LR magnem cartridge in a 22?
Let's get the names straight- there are .22 Long Rifle (LR)
cartridges, and there are .22 Magnum (.22 WMR) They DO NOT
interchange (although there are a few revolvers with 2 cylinders
that can CONVERT from one to the other). The.22 Magnum is not only
more powerful, and longer, but it is larger in diameter than the
.22 LR. SOME .22 LR firearms can safely short .22 Shorts, but LR
and Magnum do not swap.

accuracy will suck.

What is the difference between 22 caliber LR vs 22 magnum?
The .22 magnum is more powerful, longer and a larger diameter
than the .22lr. The magnumcartridge does not use the "heel seated"
bullet of the .22 LR, and USUALLY has jacketed bullets. The full
name is .22 WMRF (Winchester magnum rim fire) and they do NOT
interchange with .22 LR. There have been a few revolvers built with
two different cylinders to permit switching between LR and
Magnum.

A 22 WMR cartridge should be a bit too fat for a 22 LR chamber.
If the magnum shells will go into the cylinder but it is NOT marked
22 WMR, I wouldn't shoot it at all! If it IS marked as a magnum,
don't use standard 22s.

Can you shoot a 22 short in a Remington model five?
Yes- IF the rifle is chambered in caliber .22 LR (they were also
made in 22 WMR and 17 HMR). They will not feed properly from the
magazine, and would need to be operated as a single shot. Be sure
to clean the chamber properly after shooting shorts- they can build
up a ring of carbon fouling that will make chambering .22 LR
difficult.

Are you talking about "mini-mags" or 22 WMR (Winchester Magnum

.22 Remington Special is Remington's name for the cartridge more
commonly known as .22 WRF (Winchester Rimfire). It is NOT the same
as .22 S, L or LR and will NOT chamber in guns designed for those
cartridges. .22WRF was the "original" .22 magnum cartridge,
introduced in 1890. It is now semi-obsolete, allthough CCI and
others occasionaly produce a small ammount of the ammunition. The
