A 22 Magnum (or Winchester 22-WMR) is rimfire cartridge, same with 17HMR and the 22-WRF. <><><> The .22 Jet, which is a centerfire, was also known as the .22 Magnum Centerfire- but they are rather rare. Most .22 magnums will be, as he said right up there- rimfire. <><><> I forgot about the 22 Remington Jet. (also known as .22 Center Fire Magnum, or .22 CFM) Nice update, thanks.
A .22 magnum round is a rimfire cartridge,Today. The first .22 magnum was a centerfire. it is very hard if not impossible to buy new centerfire rifels, however the shells are still plentiful. I think a much more accurate shell ,at least for me than the rimfire. my father had a centerfire .22 magnum rifle lever action, with the magazine running along the barrel. if anyone has one I am looking for one. my brother got my dads.
There are 22 caliber centerfire cartridges such as the .22 Hornet and others, but ordinary 22 cartridges (short, long, long rifle) are rimfire.
i don't know all the states but Pennsylvania does has to be CENTERFIRE though 22 hornet is one caliber
.17 HMR is a rimfire cartridge. The HMR stands for "Hornady Magnum Rimfire"
22 is a rimfire, 222 is a centerfire.
WMR stands for Winchester Magnum Rimfire- and is the proper name for the 22 Magnum. They are the same cartridge. The 22 WRF is the Winchester rimfire, and is a shorter, less powerful version of the 22 magnum.
No. .22 Magnum may only be fired in a gun Marked .22 Magnum or .22 WMRF. Different length and diameter- as well as power.
Can't be answered withou knowing if you are referring to a rimfire or centerfire 22
Yes, if somebody says ".22 rifle" they almost certainly mean a rifle chambered for the .22 long rifle (or .22LR) round. The .22LR is a rimfire, as are the .22 short, .22 long, .22 CB, the .22WRF (Winchester Rim-Fire), and even the .22 Magnum (properly called the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire or .22 WMR). There are other calibers of rifles that use bullets about the same bore size, but they have different names. They are higher-powered calibers. They are centerfire rounds, not rimfires. Examples would be the .22 Hornet; .222 and .223 Remington, .220 Swift, and .22-250.
The question is a little difficult to answer as asked. MANY guns are centerfire. There are a number of calibers available that are rimfire, but the most common currently is a .22 or .17 family of cartridges. Almost all current larger calibers are centerfire.
Imported to the US from 1963-1968, company closed in 1997 when owner was killed by Basque separatists. Can find no listing of .22 Magnum, only .22 LR and some centerfire calibers. Limited supply of spare parts. Current sale prices around $150 for a good condition .22 LR gun. Just not that many sales to compare to, comments on the gun are positive, just expect a limited life due to lack if parts.
