I may be wrong but...
I think you'd still get better velocity with the Magnum and you have more traditional style bullets from FMJ flat nose bullets to lead core expanding hollow points. Most slow burning rifle powders are burned within the first couple inches of the barrel and there is nothing slow about .22 Magnum powder. I guess it depends on if what you are doing with the revolver would be stretching the limits of the .22lr already. Either one would be a great little gun.
