Can 22 magnum revolver fire 22Lr?
No. .22 WMR (22 magnum) has a larger diameter than 22 LR, and will split the cartridge casing. Accuracy will not be good- bullet sort of rattles down the barrel.
How to distinguish 22lr to 22magnum bullet?
22 magnums actual caliber is .220. If you look at the tip of the bullet 22 mag has a sharp point. On a 22lr it is rounded and 22 mag is bigger around. Look around the rim and it will say 22 magnum or 22 lr.
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 shoot a 22 caliber ammo in a 22 magnum pistol?
1. You can but you risk damaging the .22 magnum barrel. The magnum barrel is specially designed to take the full force of a magnum bullet, not a regular bullet. But if you try to shoot a magnum shell in the regular cylinder, you risk a blow up.2. You can shoot .22 Long Rifle ammunition in a .22 magnum barrel safely as long as the chamber is a .22 Long Rifle chamber or the revolver cylinder is chambered for .22 LRMany revolvers by Strum Ruger and Company, High Standard and others have interchangeable cylinders of both .22 Long Rifle and .22 magnum and use the same .22 magnum barrel.The .22 magnum barrel is slightly larger in bore and groove dimensions than the .22 Long Rifle and may have a bit less accuracy when shooting the .22 LR.A barrel made for only for .22 LR bullets should not fire .22 magnum ammunition, as the pressure will increase somewhat due to the slightly smaller diameter. However in practice, such barrels can and do fire .22 magnum ammunition without any other problems.ANSI-SAAMI Z299.1-1992 specifications for .22 LR and .22 Magnum:A) .22 Long Rifle:Bullet Diameter - .2255Barrel Bore Diameter - .217Barrel Groove Diameter - .222B) .22 Winchester Magnum:Bullet Diameter - .2245Barrel Bore Diameter - .219Barrel Groove Diameter - .224From this, you can see the .22 magnum round has a smaller specified bullet diameter but a larger groove diameter.In actual measurements, the .22 LR expands to fit this groove sufficiently to work well.If the .22 magnum is fired in a .22 LR barrel in theory the pressure in the chamber and barrel will be greater, but in actual tests, it is slight.
