A .22 lr is an ammunition round commercially manufactured to particular specifications. A wildcat round is one which is produced according to someone's own design, but isn't in current production. Usually they will use a cartridge from a larger caliber, like the .308 win, neck down the top of it and insert a .243 sized bullet. That's how new types of ammunition are developed.
22LR is a industry standard, the other isn't

The .22 magnum is more powerful, longer and a larger diameter than the .22lr. The magnumcartridge does not use the "heel seated" bullet of the .22 LR, and USUALLY has jacketed bullets. The full name is .22 WMRF (Winchester magnum rim fire) and they do NOT interchange with .22 LR. There have been a few revolvers built with two different cylinders to permit switching between LR and Magnum.
Length of the case. <><><> Despite the similar names, .22 Magnum also has a slightly larger diameter than a caliber 22. LR cartridge.
The .22 Long Rifle is a rimfire, whereas the .223 Remington is a centerfire cartridge. The .223 uses a longer 'spitzer' projectile vs. the rounded projectile of the .22 LR. The .223 tends to be a heavier projectile, and has a much higher velocity than the .22 LR.
The 22 Long Rifle has different size cartridges, But the 22 Hornet has pictures of deer killed with it. The 22 Hornet is a lot more powerful than the 22 Long Rifle. They both have different grain.
No. The case of a 22 WMR is longer than that of a 22 lr, so the cartridge won't fit in a rifle that is chambered for 22 lr.
Bullet weight is immaterial. If it is chambered for 22 LR, then any 22 LR load is fine.
The weapon can fire 22 short, long or long rifle.
The mini-mag should still be .22 LR.
Let's get the names straight- there are .22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridges, and there are .22 Magnum (.22 WMR) They DO NOT interchange (although there are a few revolvers with 2 cylinders that can CONVERT from one to the other). The.22 Magnum is not only more powerful, and longer, but it is larger in diameter than the .22 LR. SOME .22 LR firearms can safely short .22 Shorts, but LR and Magnum do not swap.
These sell for between $350-$450. NO- 22 LR ammo cannot safely be fired in a .22 magnum rifle. The .22 magnum case is larger in diameter as well as longer. The .22 LR cartridge case will split.
