I have a new model single six chambered in .22lr. Can I swap a .22 mag cylinder into it or is that a nono? My dad had one years ago that we could swap cylinders on, but it wasn't a new model?
If its very much there is this. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...?Item=94448770
I purchased a top quality .22 Magnum S&W and an interchangeable cylinder Ruger Single Six. When I used these pistols on small game, I was amazed. The .22 Magnum showed far more tissue damage than any .32 caliber bullet. . . .
I have put either to work against crows and other pests, and find the .22 Magnum considerably more effective. This makes it a better small game cartridge than the .32. Since the .32 is not effective against larger game, then, I really have no need for the .32 Magnum. And the .32 Magnums cost more as factory ammunition, although with reloading factored in the cartridge can be comparable to the .22 Magnum in cost.
Beyond a doubt, the person who does not reload should choose the .22 Magnum. . . . [A]t longer range ... the flat shooting .22 Magnum ... r[a]n away from the .32, but that was expected. The difference in performance was obvious. The .22 Magnum simply was the better cartridge, especially past 25 yards. And while the .32 Magnum offers the use of .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long cartridges as sub loads, the .22 Magnum can use a spare cylinder that chambers the mighty popular, inexpensive and useful .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It just doesn’t get any better. . . . I’m sorry if I didn’t drag this test out and keep you wrapped up in expectation, but that is the sum of the matter.
