What does the wmr mean on a savage rifle?
As in .22 WMR? That is the full name of the cartridge- the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire- usually called the .22 magnum
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.
22 Magnum vs 22 WMR?
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.
What bullets does a 22 revolver take?
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.
Can 22 magnum revolver fire 22Lr?
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.
You have an Iver Johnson model 50 sidewinder the cylinder is long enough for 22 mag Can 22 mag be shot through this gun?
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.
Will a Marlin Model 39 fire 22 WMR?
Only if that is what is marked on the barrel. 22 LR and 22 WMR are not interchangeable.
Is 22 mrf and 22 wmr the same?
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.
Can you shoot 22 LR in a 22 WMR rifle?
No
Ruger WMR 22 cal?
Yes
What is a 22 Rem Special cal for a Model 12 Is it different from common 22S22L or 22LR?
.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 modern .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) was introduced in 1959. It is by far the more popular cartridge- .22WRF CAN be fired in a gun chambered for .22WMR, but not the reverse. Neither .22 WRF or WMR will chamber in a gun designed for .22 S, L or LR.
Can you use 22 WMR catridge in 22 bore long rifle?
No.
