A really stupid idea. A really stupid question. I have a H&R model 622 revolver. I know it is suitable to fire any .22 short or .22lr ammunition. However, the gun itself, or barrel, no where says caliber.
My question is, why did they manufacture the gun with a cylinder that is long enough to accommodate a .22wrm round? Or it at least appears that magnum rimfires will chamber - I haven't tried stuffing one in.
Could the gun handle a .22wrm? The barrel is beefy enough to certainly withstand the higher pressure. I highly doubt the gun would explode. Any input on this? It's a gun I frankly don't care much about - I found it in my grandmother's oven (yea, old people for ya)...
I would load it up with .22wrm and firing it at distance from a rest and a pull string to see what happens. Or does anybody know for a fact that it would destroy the gun?
