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.

Can you shoot .22LR through a .22mag cylinder?

Yes, you can shoot .22LR through a .22 Magnum cylinder, provided the firearm is specifically designed for it, such as a convertible revolver that accommodates both cartridges. The .22LR cartridge is shorter than the .22 Magnum, allowing it to fit in the .22 Magnum cylinder. However, using .22LR in a dedicated .22 Magnum firearm that is not designed for it can pose safety risks. Always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines before attempting to use different ammunition types.

Can you put magnum loads in a standard 22 caliber rifle?

No. The .22 Magnum is not only longer than the .22 LR, but it is larger in diameter. The 22 WRM (its proper name) also has much more energy- and would not be safe to fire in a rifle built for .22LR.
