Different applications for each round.
If the rifle is chambered for the .308 Winchester cartridge, then long or short action can safely fire it. Long or short refers to how far the bolt travels when opened. The .308 is typically a short action- the 30-06 and longer cartridges cannot cycle thru a short action, and must be used in a long action rifle.
Yes, short, long, or long rifle, that's what it's made for.... I believe the ammo companies actually stopped making plain "longs".
They will fire the standard .22 short,.22long,and .22 long rifle cartridges.

The Model 77 Winchester will fire either long or long rifle cartridges. It is not chambered to fire short .22s cartridges.
22 caliber rimfire cartridges shorter and less powerful than the 22 long rifle. They used to be quite popular and inexpensive, but are now becoming hard to find and cost as much as the long rifle shells.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is considered a short action cartridge. It has a case length of 1.920 inches and is designed to fit within a short action rifle platform, which typically has an overall length of around 2.8 to 2.9 inches for the cartridge. This allows for quicker cycling and a lighter overall rifle compared to long action cartridges.
AnswerTypically a 22LR firearm will also fire 22 Long and 22 Shorts without issue. The issue is that magazine fed firearms usually only feed reliably with the cartridges that they are designed for. The Stevens Favorite is a single shot rifle designed to shoot .22 Long Rifle cartridges only. The reason for this is the other cartridges are too short to use in this rifle, as damage to the extractor will result. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge will fit on the open extractor and ride into the chamber with the extractor, as the breech block is closed. Shorter cartridges, such as the Short, Long, CB Cap and BB Cap are not able to fit on the extractor, thus will be placed directly into the chamber. When the breech block is closed, the extractor will be pressed into the rim of the cartridge, causing the extractor to either break or be bent out of shape. Since these are vintage guns, parts are difficult to replace, once damaged.
No, you cannot use .22 Long Rifle ammunition in an Iver Johnson 55A, as this firearm is designed specifically for .22 Short cartridges. While .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle cartridges are similar, they are longer and may not chamber properly in a gun designed for .22 Short. Always consult the firearm's manual or a knowledgeable gunsmith for proper ammunition specifications.
