The most common .22 rifle cartridge is the .22 Long Rifle (that is the name- it can also be used in pistols). A loaded cartridge is just under 1 inch long (25mm, or .985 inches) It has a lead bullet that is .223 inches in diameter (5.7mm). The cartridge case with no bullet is .590 inches long (15mm)
There ARE other .22 cartridges- the .22 Short is the same diameter, but shorter. The .22 Magnum is slightly fatter, and longer than the Long Rifle cartridge. The .22 Long (not Long Rifle, just Long) is rarely seen today.
