What is the difference between a normal 22LR and a 22 auto cartridge for Winchester rifle mod 1903?

.22 Winchester auto cartridge is very different than the common .22 L.R.. The .22 Win. Auto cartridge has a larger rim and case diameter & won't interchange. The Aquila cartridge company (Mexico) made a special run of this oddball ammo & it is available in the U.S. from specialty shops for around $12-$15 a box of 50. Email me for cartridge measurements. I have an extra box of this ammo if interested.


Can you shoot 22lr in a 25 pistol?

No. The .22 Long rifle is a RIMFIRE, meaning the firing pin strikes the very edge of the rear of the cartridge. .23 ACP is a center fire- the firing pin strikes the primer at the center of the rear of the cartridge. There are also size differences between the two- in diameter and in length.


Can you put a .22 bullets in .25 handgun Is it possible or only not preferable?

It is possible, however "not preferable" is drastically understating the seriousness of it. If you put the wrong caliber cartridge in a handgun, you can possibly damage the gun and/or hurt yourself, so it isn't "not preferable." INSTEAD, it is a really, really bad idea that you should never try.
