A .22 Mag is a Rimfire cartridge(which means the firing pin in your gun strikes the rim of the case that only has priming compound and no powder and ignites,so its a short burst of pressure).The .22 Hornet is a Centerfired Cartridge(which means it has a primer and powder)and is more powerful due to the bullet is propelled using higher pressure for a longer amount of time...The .22 Mag is cheaper to shoot...

Can you shoot 22 mag in a 22 hornet rifle?
Wondering about the size of the specific bullets - but assume also that the fact that one is rim fire and the other center fire would dictate the use as much as anything...
Can a 22 long rifle pistol shoot the 22 hornet ammo?
No. The .22 LR is a straight sided RIMFIRE cartridge. The Hornet is a bottlenecked CENTERFIRE cartridge. The chamber of a Hornet is MUCH bigger- you could not get a Hornet into a .22 LR chamber- and the firing pin would hit in the wrong place.

Is a 22 rifle the same as a 22 hornet?
22 hornet is a 22 calibre rifle. Most think of a 22 rifle as a rim fire rifle. But it shoots a 22 calibre bullet but the cartridge case that fires the bullet is no where near the same. The Hornet holds much more powder and is center fire.
How do you know if you have a Stevens 22 Hornet or Long Rifle?
The answer is probably stamped on the barrel. Does it say .22 Hornet? Most likely it says .22 LR or .22 Long Rifle. Two other things: The Hornet is a center-fire cartidge, "regular" .22's, be they shorts, longs or long rifle, are rimfire, having the priming mixture in the rim of the cartridge case. Look at the firing pin and see where it is located compared to the case head. On the edge?(rimfire) or centered?(Hornet) The chamber for the .22 Hornet is larger in diameter than the .22 rimfire, as the Hornet is a bottle-necked case. A .22 rimfire case will fall down inside the chamber of a Hornet and be loose. IF YOU PUT A RIMFIRE CARTRIDGE IN AND IT FALLS DOWN IN THE CHAMBER BE SURE IT IS OUT BEFORE YOU PUT ANOTHER CARTRIDGE IN OR YOU WILL HAVE AN EXPLOSION AND PERSONAL INJURY!!! My apologies. I believe the 22 Hornet is a straight or tapered case. I was confusing it with the 25:20, which is bottle-necked. The 22 Hornet is a "bottle neck" case, the rimfire has a straight case and will fill the chamber of the Hornet.
