I just found my great-grandfather's Winchester Model 1890 chambered in .22 WRF in a closet at my Aunt's house. Took it to my gunsmith for a cleaning and safety inspection. Can't wait to get her back and go plinking. She was born in 1923, so she turns 100 this year. Interested to see what the ballistics are on these WRFs compared to a LR. Thanks for posting this video!
nice and concise explaination. The only thing missing would be a picture at the end, with the casings cut in half (length-wise) showing the measurements of all three, side by side.
Love your video. I have a pump action .22 WRF that belonged to my grandfather. Just a heads up, your flag on the wall has the union mounted on the wrong side. Should be top left.
Thank you Charley. Yep...been told that before. The flag is a painting and is designed to be mounted horizontal. I bought it hid the electric panel behind it. Someday I might find a painting designed to be hung vertical and will change it out. Thanks for watching the vid. Hope you get to watch a few more.
Interesting vid, short, concise and to the point. Thank you. Not complaining, just FYI but is the US flag, pictured to presenter's left (viewer's right) displayed properly? Unless hanging in window to be viewed from outside, etc, isn't star field to ne upper left regardless of stripes being vertical or horizontal???
Yep...you are completely correct. This flag is painted and intended to be hung landscape....but....it is there to hide the power panel box and was all I could find that was the correct size. Besides...its Chinese made. Nothing made in america anymore. 🤥 And thank you for the comment and complement !
I sometimes carry both WMR and WRF in the forest with my Ruger Single Six. the WRF is close enough to .22LR that I don’t need to carry the extra cylinder; I can just use the WRFs in the WMR cylinder. Really interesting is this: My Chiappa Double Badger is .22WMR/.410, and the .22WRF will not chamber in its .22WMR throat; it’s just a tad too large in diameter, though the .22WMRs fit fine. Go figure. Thank you for the interesting and informative video.
The .22 LR is the old style heeled or heel-in bullet. The other .22s are inside the cases just like the Russians demanded of the .44 Russian S&W top break revolver. The heel in style cartridge produces a bullet and case of same diameter.
Bill , that brings back a memory from my youth that hadn’t thought about once between now and then ! Lol. There was a .22 in the family that I was allowed to shoot that was very old. I don’t remember what is was exactly but seems to me it was a Winchester and the cool factor was that it was a pump action. So how does this relate to your video? My father / grandfather said “ you need to wrap a single piece of “scotch” tape around each case of each round for it to fire properly. I’ll bet that it was chambered in the Winchester .22 and we were using “regular” .22 long rifle. It would be interesting to know if that piece of tape made up the difference in diameter. I think I always assumed it was so old it was worn. The rifle went back a couple generations in the family and had notches in the stock , prairie dog count I was told ! Lol. It was such a pain wrapping that tape, I don’t ever remember shooting it but a few times. Sadly Dad sold it before he passed with his whole collection. I have two sisters not interested in guns so his theory was cash splits by three better that guns do! Lol🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for the education and the memory !
@@SixRoundsStudio Would i be considered "anti-gunner" if i believed civillians had no need for a stockpile of weapons or "high-capacity" weapons holding 10+ rounds with automatic fire? I see no issue with lever-action rifles or semi-automatic guns, but why would one need 20 different guns? (other than as a collector)
@@Itkovan That my friend would be a whole long discussion of personal beliefs, definitions, history, and the nature of man. Not something we will ever have here in the comment section of RU-vid.
Possibly. You might have to calculate the burn rate of the powder used to match the length of the brass, to equal the mag. Not sure the sugar for nickel is there.
@@SixRoundsStudio growing up in the 70s, all I ever heard my granddad call them. Funny as an adult, the first time a saw the .22 WRF on the shelf, I ask the clerk to hand me 6 boxes of .22 special. LOL he looked at me crazy and ask what is a 22 special. Told him it was a short version of a 22 magnum. He tried to tell me I couldn't use .22WRF in a gun chambered for 22 WMR.... I've shot them in my Single 6, Marlin 39M, my old Savage, and most recently my Ruger American Rimfire 22 magnum.
@@2326TX Yes they are the same except for the overall length. The short can go in the long...but not the other way around....but then...you already figured that out 😀
Knowledge is seriously being lost. I just walked out of one of the biggest ammo stores in Southern California with the guys inside all laughing at me because WRF is the same thing as a box of LR made by Winchester, according to them. The stupidity out there is in excess. Research, watch videos like this, and walk from dummies. They would have all shot their face off trying to figure out my Winchester model 90. Smh.
You shouldn't have any issues. The WRF is the predecessor of the WMR. The only difference is the overall length. A mag will not chamber in a WRF but the opposite is true. The WRF will chamber in a WMR. Check it out.
