    The .22 WRF (Winchester Rimfire)is still being produced n limited amounts.
    Was designed for the older model Winchester 1890.
    The .22 WRF is very similar in size to the .22 Magnum, but with velocities in the 1400 fps range.
    This the same cartridge is the 22 Remington Special
    Value would go to 0 if Rechambered (Rebarreled)

    The .22 WRF and .22 Magnum cartridges are NOT interchangeable

    Is this round the same as the old "22 automatic" round or is it something different?

    you can succsesfuly chamber and safely shoot .22 WRF in a single action revolver that has a .22 WIN MAG cylinder.


    you cannot and should never attempt to fire a .22 WIN MAG in a rifle chambered in .22 WRF.

    best regards, mike.
