Info from CCI re .22 WRF in revolvers

OK, Thanks!

This is a .22 LR Ruger Single-Six that I have put a .22 Magnum cylinder into. It handles .22 WMR very well and with good accuracy, so bullet diameter should not be a problem.

Thanks for the info. I knew the old .22 WRF ammo used lead bullets, but didn't know it had a smaller bore diameter.

Gordon,
Most 22 WRF revolvers have undersized bores that cannot use a jacketed bullet,
this is the reason.

Hope that helps!

Just bought a box of .22 Winchester Rim Fire 45 grain hollow point ammunition to
use in my Ruger Single-Six .22 Magnum cylinder. After I got home I noticed that
"Not for use in revolvers" was printed on the box.

Question: Why not?

Thanks,
GSC
