By opening the action
lr stands for long rifle(uses a bullet) I dont know where you got 22l from
I really am sorry to say but I do not know how old my rifle is all I know is my step-dad brought two model 99s about 1970 and they were used in excellent shape. I lost contact with my step dad with Vietnam and other issues in the army but I still have mine and I would really like more information on this rifle.

Until you open up the action and visually inspect the magazine and chamber, you don't. Which is why you always treat a firearm as if it were loaded.
Don't know if it's made anymore, but it would probably be the .17/44 - a .17 projectile in a necked down .44 Magnum casing.
Theres a certain time you have to wait before you know that theres no more. Theres a certain time you have to wait before you know that theres no more.
.28 and .280 are the same diameter bullet. I know of no pistols in .280, with the possible exception of some of the single shot pistols that fire rifle cartridges. I know of no cartridge called the .28.

Crockett had a rifle, which he called Old Betsy. A rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel, which make the bullet spin when it is fired out of the barrel. In the same way a quarterback tries to spin the football when throwing a pass, this made the bullet fired from a rifle much more accurate than those fired from a musket. A musket is a smooth-bore weapon - no grooves inside the barrel, therefore no spin on the bullet. A musket shot is more like a knuckleball in baseball - no spin, liable to go anywhere, even a puff of wind can change its course, and musket balls do not have as long a range as rifle balls. As far as I know some Mexican wound up with Crockett's rifle after he died at the Alamo in 1836. Photography had not yet been invented.
Until you blow one up in controlled testing, you won't know. SAMMI publishes maximum pressures for cartridges that should not be exceeded.
We can't really answer that until we know WHICH 45 and which 50. In the case of a muzzleloading black powder rifle, the .50 with have more energy, all other things being equal. However, it could also compare a 50 muzzleloader to a .45-70 cartridge rifle, which is more powerful. Caliber alone only tells us the width of the bullet.
