A 22 Magnum (or Winchester 22-WMR) is rimfire cartridge, same with 17HMR and the 22-WRF.

The .22 Jet, which is a centerfire, was also known as the .22 Magnum Centerfire- but they are rather rare. Most .22 magnums will be, as he said right up there- rimfire.

I forgot about the 22 Remington Jet. (also known as .22 Center Fire Magnum, or .22 CFM)
Nice update, thanks.

What type of gun is a 22 magnum--rimfire or centerfire?
A .22 magnum round is a rimfire cartridge,Today. The first .22 magnum was a centerfire. it is very hard if not impossible to buy new centerfire rifels, however the shells are still plentiful. I think a much more accurate shell ,at least for me than the rimfire. my father had a centerfire .22 magnum rifle lever action, with the magazine running along the barrel. if anyone has one I am looking for one. my brother got my dads.

What is the best all around hunting gun?
I dont believe in all around hunting gun. It depends on the game you are after. a magnum .300 rifle would cover most of your hunting needs. A three way tie between a .22 rimfire rifle, a shotgun, and some kind of centerfire rifle that you shoot well. The combination on these three would do you well in most of the world. (but not for dangerous game, say in Africa.)

Depends on what you mean by "powerful", commercial or wildcat cartridge, current or obsolete? Rifle or handgun? Does it have to be of a bigger diameter or just deliver more ft/lbs of energy or do you just want to know about velocity? Rimfire or centerfire?
