The 22-250 cartridge is a short action cartridge. The parent cartridge case for the .22-250 is the .250-3000 Savage. As a wildcat cartridge the .22-250 was used in both long and short actions. Remington Arms legitimized the .22-250 quite a few years ago as the .22-250 Remington.
NO. The .22 is a RIMFIRE cartridge, and is smaller in diameter than the .25 ACP- which is a center fire cartridge.

A qualified gunsmith will ream (machine ) your chamber to the K dimensions, and then you simply shoot your regular hornet ammo in the gun. The pressure from firing will expand the brass of your cartridge to the exact dimensions of your new chamber. When you extract the case, it is a k-hornet case. Simply reload accordingly. This is known as fire forming.
The .22 Long rifle is a CARTRIDGE that is used in revolvers, pistols, and rifles. BULLET refers to the part of a cartridge that comes out of the barrel.
The most common .22 rifle cartridge is the .22 Long Rifle (that is the name- it can also be used in pistols). A loaded cartridge is just under 1 inch long (25mm, or .985 inches) It has a lead bullet that is .223 inches in diameter (5.7mm). The cartridge case with no bullet is .590 inches long (15mm) There ARE other .22 cartridges- the .22 Short is the same diameter, but shorter. The .22 Magnum is slightly fatter, and longer than the Long Rifle cartridge. The .22 Long (not Long Rifle, just Long) is rarely seen today.
The answer is dependant on the load and round. An .22 short cartridge can be under 800 FPS while a .22 LR cartridge can be over 1800 FPS. So it is dependent on the cartridge size, the bullet weight and shape, and the quantity and type of propellant used.
.22 Long Rifle is a longer cartridge.

1. NO. .22 LR is factionally smaller in diameter than .22 mag. The cartridge case will split on firing. DON'T. 2. The .22 LR round will burst and unravel in a .22 magnum chamber nearly every time. It will fire a bullet downrange though and accuracy will be poor. The gasses will exit the burst cartridge, usually harmlessly, though, and it it not advised as above. However there are sleeves that can safely convert a .22 magnum chamber to use a .22 Long Rifle cartridge with no problems. The sleeve fits around the .22 LR cartridge.
