You can get good bullets in the .22 mag vs. cheap ones in a LR. I had a .22 mag Marlin that would shoot 5/8" 5 shot groups at 100. Unfortunately it was expensive to shoot and rarely needed, so I sold it. Haven't looked back on the .22 mag since.
Why can't you just load a 22lr round in a magnum cylinder? It fits.
Usually splits because it is undersize. In some cases may blow out brass bits.
By the way, a .44 mag fits into a .45 Colt chamber, but you REALLY don't want to do that!
Just because it fits does not mean it is safe!
In a handgun your better off to find a 32-20 and handload it down a bit..
I just don't understand why 22 mag is still around. Expensive... not much for range... not many firearms chambered for it...
Just because it fits does not mean it is safe!
