The Remington 22 special (used in model 12, 121, etc) is the same as a 22 WRF

Occasionally Winchester or CCI will make a run of ammo but Remington doesn't anymore. Your have to search gun shows if you want to find some.

What is a 22 Rem Special cal for a Model 12 Is it different from common 22S22L or 22LR?

.22 Remington Special is Remington's name for the cartridge more commonly known as .22 WRF (Winchester Rimfire). It is NOT the same as .22 S, L or LR and will NOT chamber in guns designed for those cartridges. .22WRF was the "original" .22 magnum cartridge, introduced in 1890. It is now semi-obsolete, allthough CCI and others occasionaly produce a small ammount of the ammunition. The modern .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) was introduced in 1959. It is by far the more popular cartridge- .22WRF CAN be fired in a gun chambered for .22WMR, but not the reverse. Neither .22 WRF or WMR will chamber in a gun designed for .22 S, L or LR.
