What is the difference between a 22 wildcat and 22 lr?

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.


What is the difference between 22 caliber LR vs 22 magnum?

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.

Can you put a LR magnem cartridge in a 22?

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.

No! The .22 magnum is different dimensionally. Do not attempt to chamber a .22 Magnum in a rifle or handgun designated for .22 s,l or lr. In most cases the barrel of a rifle or handgun will indicate the chambering!
