Can you shoot a .22 LR in a .22 magnum?

I have shot .22LRs through my NAA Mini chambered in .22WMR and had no problems.
I'm Libertarian for these 3 reasons:
1.) I'm American
2.) I'm not insane enough to be Democrat
3.) I'm not wussy enough to be Republican

Can you shoot a .22 LR in a .22 magnum? It's hard on the throat. Then again, that's what they make interchangeable cylinder revolvers for. Brian.

When I forgot which cylinder I had in a Colt .22 single action and fired LRs in the magnum cylinder, I got split cases.

The 22LR isn't just shorter, it is a smaller diameter case.
I used to use 22 WRF as a light load. It is the same diameter as a magnum, but shorter. Hard to find and expensive now. Also, I think the 22 AUTO by Rem and Win is the same diameter as the magnum, but even harder to find than WRF.

CCI makes it now, and it's pretty reasonably priced. Brian.

You can but you won't hit anything and you are tempting the escaping gas gods mightily if you are shooting .22 S, L, LR in something chambered in .22 WMR or .22 WRF.

Just saw where someone streaked at an Obama rally in Philly. I actually looked at the TV to see if it might have been Maser. Seriously...
Figured with his sig line he's running for some kind of office.

The 22 mag bullet is sized 224,the 22long rifle is a little bit smaller od.
You can try to shoot it,but the cases might split.
