Default RE: Anyone have a .22 mag?

A 22 Mag. case is a lot bigger around and longer than the lr case, so the lr case "will" go in the mag. chamber and "will" fire the lr case. BUT, it will split the lr case, and isn't a good thing to be doing!! Don't do this as it really isn't safe!!

Yes, you can shoot a 22 short in a lr chamber, but you will have to clean out the chamber if you fire very many shorts in it so the lr's will again chamber easily. The short will gum up the chamber ahead of the short case but it doesn't really hurt anything.
