With all due respect, I highly doubt that, .22WMR is a different case diameter (about .24cal. vs .224cal). I am sure that many old .22LRs have a well-worn throat, but length isn't the biggest concern, so that doesn't make a big difference. If it could be easily done (say without a hammer) there would be a whole lot more folks missing fingers or eyes.I've also seen a few worn-out .22LRs with chambers that could conceivably accept a .22 Mag.
hmm.. shooting shorts and cb caps in a bolt action.... maybe I need a bolt action 22lr....
You mean 17 rimfires will not work, in general, in a 22 lr rifle?don't forget; besides the powderless or almost powderless cb rounds, you also have the Aguila colibri and super colibri's. Those last two are single shot, or bolt rifle propositions for the most part; no chance they have enough oomph, to cycle a semi auto.
Lastly, neither of the 3- 17 rimfires will work in your 22; 17hmr, 17mach2, 17aguila.
Get real.The .22 shorts aren't even worth shooting.
Not quite. Lots of Winchester 1890s were chambered in short only (they're pumps). I have one I inherited from my grandfather through my dad. It's a fun shooter, and with its 26" barrel, it's very quiet.you can't shoot 'em out of anything but a bolt gun anyway
lol, everyone thinks I made a good choice.I have a Winchester 1890 22 Long and will not feed Shorts or Long Rifles. It's a pump with a hammer. Great old gun used to kill a few pdogs, rabbits and tin cans. Now ammo is hard to come by I have 5-600 rounds and buy more when I can. Marlin 60 is a great LR shooter. Ray

My Winchester 72 tube fed magazine will shoot shorts, long and LR. Anyone that knows about ths rifle, will it shoot 22 magnums. I never tried any other rnds. than I mentioned. I guess I need to see if the shell will fit the opening in the tube mag.

It absolutely is different. Just because they use the same bullet size doesn't mean that they have to use the same case diameter. The mag has a thicker case, which is how it deals with the higher pressure that they round is able to produce over the .22LR.With all due respect, I highly doubt that, .22WMR is a different case diameter (about .24cal. vs .224cal).

.22LR and .22WMR are actually the same pressure (24kPSI), and I don't believe the case is thicker on either, it is solely due to the heeled bullet design (smaller bullet diameter where it enters the case) of the .22LR (as well as Long and Short).The mag has a thicker case, which is how it deals with the higher pressure that they round is able to produce over the .22LR.
OH.... So your saying it's like stuffing a 5.56 in a .223, or a .357 mag in a .38 spl when I put a .22 mag into my Marlin 60.
No that is not what he is saying. You will not be able to get a 22 magnum into your Marlin Model 60. The 22 mag cartridge is too long, and the case is too wide, to chamber. It is an entirely different cartridge from what your Model 60 will shoot. It won't fit your gun.OH....

Geez. That WMR looks like a beast compared to .22 lr.
