I've got a questions about revolvers with seperate cylinders for long rifle and magnum 22 ammo.
I know that you are not suppose to shoot .22lr in a gun chambered for .22wmr. Some say that the .22lr bullet can tumble after it exits the barrel.
If that is true, then why would switching a 22 magnums cylinder out with a 22 long rifle be any different. Sure the chamber is a different size, but the barrel is still a magnum.
I'm asking because I was looking at getting two revolvers, one in each caliber. Then I saw that there are some revolvers out there with seperate cylinders for the seperate calibers.
Thanks
