I understand that 22 Short and Long might leave a lead ring in the chamber when fired in a 22 LR firearm. At least that's what I've read.
1. Is it safe to do? Safe if the chamber is routinely brushed?
2. What kind of impact on accuracy is there?
3. What I'm most curious about is what is the dimensional differences between a "standard" 22LR chamber and one that is designed to accommodate all three cartridges?
I don't have any intention of firing a 22 Short or Long in a 22 LR, but I'm picking up some 22 Short and Long just to have them (weird thing to collect, I know). I also have some 17 WSM too but no rifle chambered in it.
