22 WRF compared to 22WMR
Just stumbled upon 5 boxes of Winchester Super-Speed 22 W.R.F.
I noticed that they are shorter then the 22WMR.
Will they fire in a 22WMR rifle?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, but please don't. The Super Speed loading is older and collectible. 0 -
Not going to use them in my 22 Mag rifle.
I just read in "Cartridges Of The World" about them.
These are the older yellow boxes without the child warning on them.
I will be posting them on the auction side later.0 -
"Will they fire in a 22WMR rifle?"........yes, just like shooting .22 shorts in a .22 l.r. just less power.........as to collectability, I doubt you'll get much more than current production .22 mag ammo. 0 -
I've heard mixed reviews by knowledgeable people regarding shooting the WRF cartridge in the WMRF chamber. Some say that it works and others say that it doesn't. I've pressed a little to see exactly "how" it doesn't work, but haven't received a workable answer. So I don't know if it doesn't fire reliably, have accuracy or just what the problem is- but as said others shoot it and contend that it works fine. 0 -
I have shot the 22 WRF in a modern 22 WMR chamber with no problems what-so-ever. The accuracy was surprisingly good. 0 -
My limited (one box) experience with WRF ammo in WMR handgun has been like firing .38 Spl. in a .357 Mag gun. 0
