The .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) cartridge has a flatter trajectory compared to the standard .22 LR due to its higher velocity and energy. Typically, it can travel at speeds around 2,000 feet per second, allowing for effective range up to 150 yards or more, depending on the specific load and rifle used. Its trajectory is characterized by a relatively low arc, making it suitable for varmint hunting and small game. However, shooters must still account for bullet drop and wind drift at longer distances.
As in .22 WMR? That is the full name of the cartridge- the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire- usually called the .22 magnum
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.
WMR stands for Winchester Magnum Rimfire- and is the proper name for the 22 Magnum. They are the same cartridge. The 22 WRF is the Winchester rimfire, and is a shorter, less powerful version of the 22 magnum.
A .22 revolver takes CARTRIDGES. Which .22 cartridge will depend on what caliber the revolver was made for. A .22 LR can shoot Long Rifle or Short cartridges, and a .22 WMR uses .22 magnum cartridges. They do not interchange. There are a few .22 revolvers that have 2 cylinders, and can shoot either cartridge.
No. .22 WMR (22 magnum) has a larger diameter than 22 LR, and will split the cartridge casing. Accuracy will not be good- bullet sort of rattles down the barrel.
Only if that is what is marked on the barrel. 22 LR and 22 WMR are not interchangeable.
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.
There is a .22 WRF, and a .22 WMR. WRF is Winchester Rimfire. Bigger than a ,22 Long Rifle, but shorter than a .22 WMR- Winchester Magnum Rimfire. If someone is using the term .22 MRF, it is an inaccurate term.
