The round was more powerful and effective than the .22LR and its parent case, the .22 Winchester Rimfire, while being more affordable than centerfire rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although introduced by Winchester, Marlin was the first firearms manufacturer to chamber a gun in the caliber with the Marlin Levermatic rifle. The following year, Winchester released its own .22 Mag rifle, the Winchester Model 61. By that time, Smith &amp; Wesson and Ruger had produced revolvers chambered in the caliber and Savage had introduced the Model 24 .22 Mag rifle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.22 WMR vs. .22 Mag: What is it Good For?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6802 size-full\" title=\"s&amp;w M&amp;P 22 magnum\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol.jpg\" alt=\"a woman shooting a 22 mag pistol\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/22magpistol-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 60+ years that the .22 Mag has been around, the round has proven itself to be increasingly versatile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winchester introduced the .22 Mag as a cartridge for hunting small game and varmints out of a rifle. The round is known to be effective on small to medium game like coyotes, raccoon, etc. out to 150 yards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, revolvers chambered for the cartridge have also been around since the round\u2019s debut.

Ballistically, the .22 Mag tends to penetrate ballistic gel adequately, even when fired from a shorter barrel. These qualities are attractive to shooters looking for an easily concealable everyday carry snub nose revolver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Guns Chambered in .22 Mag<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
