So, I would be amiss to shoot "22s" in my 22mag? Depends what .22 mag you are talking about. If you're talking about say a Single Six, it will probably work most of the time, but the total lack of accuracy will likely drive you nuts. The cases will split a good bit of the time but will still extract. Other guns may not be so forgiving.

Idiotic,...they are 2 separate and distinct rounds.
The fact that one CAN launch 7.62 X 51 / .308 Win outta' some .30-'06 s doesn't make it "Cheaper",.....Just as stupid as the comment re: same, by Diaper Boy.
.45-70 will function all day long in a .45-90, one "improv" that would make a little sense, in an extreme survival type situation,.....

I just found out that a .357 will go into the .44 magnum chambers of my Super Blackhawk! Split cases. What could go wrong? Just kiddin, just kiddin! Really though, i don't think it's a good idea. Safety first.

the 22 mag is .223" in diameter if i recall correctly, and .22 long rifle is like .220" or so. so yes the mag would squeeze down to that size but may lead the bore or be inaccurate. i would be more worried that one of the "not that well supported" .22 LR cartridges would split and send gas into my eye. or that i would bugger up my chamber for the next time i wanna shoot mags.

You can use mag. cases with the rims cut off for "inserts" and put a LR round in it, and chamber and fire, but...WHY??????

22mag is indeed 224, LR is 222. You may get split cases as indicated, and you will definitely get some powder fouling in the cylinder/chamber ahead of the 22LR case mouth.
Otherwise no worries.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I'll completely ignore the basic safety violation inherent in "Splitting Cases" and only ask that we all consider the gas BYPASSING the soft .22LR slug, when launched from a .22 WMR chamber,......As the poor non obturated thing rattles it's way into an over sized throat and bore, there's a LOT of it being vaporized off it's sides. In the form of molten droplets these blow by, and once in the bore almost Immediately start to solidify. So, as whatever is left out of our poor .22 LR slug finally does get some traction, cockeyed at best,....it now IRONS the reconsolidated / Solidifying Lead , no longer in vapor form,.....onto the interior surface of your barrel.
Anybody want to talk about the HORRIFIC "Lead Ringing" that takes place as an additional bonus, for those who pursue this fooolishness ?

Can you shoot a .22 LR in a .22 magnum? I know you've tried this. What was your experience?

The .22 LR shoots a heeled bullet, the base is of a smaller diameter than main bearing surface. The .22 WMR shoots a jacketed bullet of .224" diameter just like a light .223 or .22-250 bullet. This is a STUPID idea!!!

Whether or not you CAN do something and whether or not you SHOULD do something are very often two similar questions with different answers.....

Can you shoot a .22 LR in a .22 magnum? I know you've tried this. What was your experience? Actually I haven't. The magnum case is larger in diameter than that of a LR. The LR bullet is expanded to be the same size as the case, while the magnum bullet is seated like all others.

If you want to shoot cheaper get a 22lr and use the right ammo.
