Looked at a box of 22wrf today and noticed a warning on the box that said " not recommended for revolvers". What is the reasoning for this?
He asked about WRF, not .22Mag.LuckenbachTexas said:Because it has excessive muzzle blast and/or the company has another more expensive version they want you to buy.

The .22WRF works fine in revolvers, despite the silly legal disclaimer on the box.

From REP1954's picture the rounds look to be the same size as the .22 magnum (WMR). Could someone explain to me the genesis of these? I'm completely stymied and tickled, too. It's 3:48 am so that might explain my semi-blown mind that this post and thread have caused. From this day forward I simply have to search for a box of them.
