Yes, the .22lr will chamber and fire from a .22WMR chambered rifle, but no, it SHOULD NOT BE DONE. The .22LR is a smaller diameter case than the .22WMR, and you run the risk of case rupture if you fire Long Rifle rounds out of a Magnum chamber. This can cause serious damage to your gun, as well as serious injury (or worse) to the shooter.
I didn't know if you could or not. Nor did I say to do it. I said IF there is a Bolt action rifle that was able to use both then it's a hard choice. But since you can't. I say 10/22.
