The velocity of a .22 Magnum bullet typically ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 feet per second (fps), depending on the specific load and barrel length.
.223 inches for the .22LR, .224 inches for the .22 WMR.
No. .22 WMR (22 magnum) has a larger diameter than 22 LR, and will split the cartridge casing. Accuracy will not be good- bullet sort of rattles down the barrel.
Depends on the firearm and the caliber marked on it. It could be a .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle (LR) or .22 WMR (magnum). You did not give us enough information to answer- there have been a million (really) .22 caliber handguns made in Italy.
it stands for Winchester Magnum Rifle.....it takes a 22 MAG BULLET
22 magnums actual caliber is .220. If you look at the tip of the bullet 22 mag has a sharp point. On a 22lr it is rounded and 22 mag is bigger around. Look around the rim and it will say 22 magnum or 22 lr.
1. You can but you risk damaging the .22 magnum barrel. The magnum barrel is specially designed to take the full force of a magnum bullet, not a regular bullet. But if you try to shoot a magnum shell in the regular cylinder, you risk a blow up.2. You can shoot .22 Long Rifle ammunition in a .22 magnum barrel safely as long as the chamber is a .22 Long Rifle chamber or the revolver cylinder is chambered for .22 LRMany revolvers by Strum Ruger and Company, High Standard and others have interchangeable cylinders of both .22 Long Rifle and .22 magnum and use the same .22 magnum barrel.The .22 magnum barrel is slightly larger in bore and groove dimensions than the .22 Long Rifle and may have a bit less accuracy when shooting the .22 LR.A barrel made for only for .22 LR bullets should not fire .22 magnum ammunition, as the pressure will increase somewhat due to the slightly smaller diameter. However in practice, such barrels can and do fire .22 magnum ammunition without any other problems.ANSI-SAAMI Z299.1-1992 specifications for .22 LR and .22 Magnum:A) .22 Long Rifle:Bullet Diameter - .2255Barrel Bore Diameter - .217Barrel Groove Diameter - .222B) .22 Winchester Magnum:Bullet Diameter - .2245Barrel Bore Diameter - .219Barrel Groove Diameter - .224From this, you can see the .22 magnum round has a smaller specified bullet diameter but a larger groove diameter.In actual measurements, the .22 LR expands to fit this groove sufficiently to work well.If the .22 magnum is fired in a .22 LR barrel in theory the pressure in the chamber and barrel will be greater, but in actual tests, it is slight.
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
Not sure what an HW3 is, but if it is a firearm chambered for .22 Long Rifle, no, it cannot be "rechambered" to .22 Magnum. The .22 magnum fires a larger diameter bullet than the LR, and has higher pressures. The two cartridges do not interchange except in a few revolvers that have 2 cylinders- one LR, one magnum.
