Huh? 22 Mag loud? Hmmm, maybe that's why I have tinnitus.
Interesting approach. Necessity is the mother of invention.Jim Watson said:A friend said he cut off the heads of fired .22 Mag cases to make adapter sleeves for LRs in a .22 WRM revolver.
I did not see them in action.
Whereas, in reality, .22 LR is the "magnum" version of the .22 Short and/or .22 Long. The .22 WMR is the magnum version of the .22 WRF.SIGSHR said:A lot of people seem to think that 22 LR is to 22 Magnum as 38 Special is to 357 Magnum.
Seriously? If your statement has any validity I'll ask this, why doesn't the bullet fall out when you turn the round upside down??No - look at how the bullet is seated on a 22 magnum vs a 22 lr- one sits in the case and one sits on top of.
Google "heeled bullet" and you'll see crimps have nothing to do with anything.Seriously? If your statement has any validity I'll ask this, why doesn't the bullet fall out when you turn the round upside down??
Both rounds have the bullet crimped in the brass
I do not understand your argument.Google "heeled bullet" and you'll see crimps have nothing to do with anything.
Crimps have nothing to do with the 22 LR bullet being (in part) the same outside diameter as the case, while the 22 Magnum bullet is a smaller diameter than the case.I do not understand your argument.
There are many reasons, not the least of which are the facts that both cartridges do use crimped case mouths to retain bullets; and that all traditional heeled bullets are designed to be crimped.
I'm well aware of that.Crimps have nothing to do with the 22 LR bullet being (in part) the same outside diameter as the case, while the 22 Magnum bullet is a smaller diameter than the case.
I didn't say it did..22 LR bullets don't just sit on top of a case fully of powder.
Why bother to keep any of them open?OP question asked, and answered, correctly, several times. Why are we even bothering to keep the thread open??
