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.

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.

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.


Is 22 mrf and 22 wmr the same?
