No. The WRF (Winchester Rim Fire) is a larger diameter cartridge. It is the same diameter are the 22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) but is shorter than the magnum, It may be safety fired in a .22 magnum rifle, but not in a 22 LR. 22 LR ammo should NOT be fired in a rifle chambered for 22 WRF.

What is the difference between the different 22 calibre rounds?

Mainly length and energy. From the shortest (and weakest) to the longest (and most powerful) .22 BB cap, .22 CB cap, .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 Long Rifle. There are also obsolete .22 cartridges no longer made- .22 Winchester Auto, .22 Special, and .22 Extra Long. The .22 Winchester Rimfire (WRF) and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WRF) are larger in diameter than the other .22s, and will NOT interchange with them. There are also centerfire cartridges with 22 in the name, such as .220 Swift, 22 PC, 22-250, but they have no relation to the other 22s.
