NO. .22LR is smaller in diameter than .22 Magnum, and is likely to split the cartridge case, and accuracy will be very poor.

Will a 22 long rifle shoot a 22 magnum bullet?

No. Not only is the .22 magnum more powerful, it is longer, and LARGER in diameter. It will not chamber in a .22 LR firearm. There are a few revolvers that aremade with 2 different cylinders- one in 22 LR, one in 22 Mag, that can be swapped- but the cartridges themselves cannot be used interchangeably. A .22 Long Rifles actual bullet is smaller than a magnum,not to mention the case diameter.So you wont be able to chamber a .22 Mag in a .22 LR...A .22 LR will chamber in a .22 Mag but due to the case diameter it will possibly split(possibly injuring the person shooting the gun,or damaging the firearm),and the bullet rattles around for about 3" in most gun barrels before it stabilizes,causing leading,premature barrel wear,and loss of accuracy...Dont Try It!!!


Can you shoot a 22 mag out of a 22 lr?

Some revolvers are capable of firing both cartridges, simply by replacing the cylinder. Not all revolvers can do this, however. As for a dedicated .22LR firearm not fed from a cylinder, the answer is going to be no.


Can you shoot 22lr in 22wmr guns?

Not safely. The 22 lr is a slightly smaller case dimension, so it'll split in the cambe of a 22 mag gun, and vent gas out the back.
