22 mag in a 22 lr chamber?
Unless the factory cut an over-size .22 LR chamber, a .22 MAG cartridge won't chamber in a SAAMI specs .22 LR chamber as the .22 MAG has a slighly larger diameter. Same/same for .22 WRF not being able to be inserted into a properly cut .22 LR chamber.
one will chamber in the old 24 Savage I have, that I inherited from my grand father's passing in 1968...22 LR on top and 410 on the bottom...
my granddad's favorite two "meals" was squirrel or rabbit... and being a typical WV hillbilly... cheap SOB..
is a very early Model 24....the 22 barrel is long since shot out when I got it...shot out enough, a 22 Mag round will drop right in there...
I used the 410 barrel and took a truck load of squirrels with it when I lived in Minnesota...
