The .22 WRF/.22 Remington Special along with it's evolution to .22 Magnum represents a darned useful ballistic range for people that really do take slightly heavier small game and varmints. My biggest gripe is the cost of the ammo. In regards to the .22 Magnum, it was said it was a hunter's cartridge. I agree. Too expensive to be a plinkers favorite.

I have a .22WRF. I can shoot it as a single shot but not as a pump as it should. I need a tube magazine. I have not been able to find one. I check Numerich Gun Parts regularly. Can you tell me where to get one?

👍

If 22 rf and 22 mag ever had a bastard child, it would be a 22 sharp

Bought a Ruger American in 22 mag but couldn't get ammo at the time, so I bought 2 boxes of 22wrf. Worked great except the last round in there rotary mag. would not feed.. have used them all up but really had no issues with them

i can pop tennis balls every time at 50 yards with my lyman

For the most part, 22 WRF will chamber and fire safely (it's in a SAAMI gray area on interchange) but accuracy is definitely not guaranteed. The bigger problem is finding 22 WRF, so it seems a waste to fire it from a 22 WMR.

I can’t get this yet in Canada grrrrr lol

What is wrong with a tumbling bullet at 3 yards in a self defense situation. If it bothers you that much, then shoot 22 mag ammo made for 2 inch short barrels. (Speer Gold Dot 22Maag 40Grain, GDHP-SB. Quit using rifle ammo in a 2 inch pistol barrel.

That’s awesome! As a .45-70 shooter myself I’m sure that belt got heavy

Please review the fletcher 11-22

Great info .

You don't really like heritage revolvers but you bought all of them? That's confusing.

I've never heard of this caliber. Thanks for the information.

Great look at the WRF. I used to know a man that had a rifle in .22 Special..Maybe it was a .22 Remington Special. I just remembered that I couldn't find anything to shoot in it. Have you ever heard anything similar?

That's okay In my state if you pump your gun it's still considered a firearm so no airguns in my state BB's bad according to our governor

Great comparison. I could be wrong but my understanding is the current loading of the WRF is indeed the same diameter as the WMR. I have, in fact, used WRF out of my 22WMR revolver as well as bolt action rifle. It has a slightly quiter report using the WRF. I'll have to measure some of those bullets to confirm. Thanks for the video.

22 Special 😊

This is exactly why I love this channel..... im very familiar with the 22 short, long, long rifle, and wmr. But I've never heard of the wrf. I allways learn something new. Excellent video. Thank you!

I have a first run DC that my dad bought for me when I was 11. Has shot many thousands of rounds of reloads and factory ammo alike with zero issues. Only thing I have done is add tritium sights and a grip of 17rnd mecgar mags. Its the trusted bedside piece that my wife can shoot quite good as well.

I have an old Remington pump that takes the WRF. I don't think a whole lot of people even know what the WRF is. Great video! Thanks.

Glad you popped up on my feed…. Subscribed. Ty

I actually bought them thinkin they was 22mag one time .work fine in my savage 93g

Never had or seen the WRF. Thanks for the great info and history of the round. Take care

Watch them every vidio

Stop this stupid, double dumbass, bs!!

What paper did you use? Looks heavier than standard kraft, but similar to quality grocery paper bags.

The 17M2 isn’t just a neck-down regular 22LR case it’s the CCI stinger case which is 0.1” of an inch longer than the regular 22LR case. Just to be exact.

My experience with the 17 rimfires, the 17HMR has been more accurate in all the rifles I tried (Cooper, Anschutz, CZ, and Marlin) compared to the 17M2.

You should have made the bullet loops to the down edge of the belt. So the curve would be into the othe direction and perfect fit to the hip.

Off topic, but did Savage ever get back to you about your A17WSM? I've seen pretty mixed reports about the A17.

The 22remington special is the same as a22wrf,they didn't want to use a Winchester logo of any kind on their guns.

Glad I found your channel Great video , never heard of thst other 22 Subscribed

Excellent video,as always. Never heard of the WRF, but I was intrigued by the case difference between the 22LR and the 22 WMR, especially since a different cylinder is required (for a Heritage Rough Rider, for example) yet the bullet would be fired through the same barrel.

I have a Rossi lever action 22mag and I have been shooting the 22WMR in it with no issues whatsoever and it holds more rounds. And yes i checked the barrel and loading breach when i clean it. All good. Great video

I have a 22WRF that belonged to my great grandfather in the 1890's and has been passed down the family. Last year I took my grandson to the rifle range to learn gun skills. It was absolutely iconic to see him shoot that WRF that his great great great grandfather shot in the 1890 Oregon territories.

Great video. Thank you

CCi says dont use it in anything but rifles but ive been told by a few it can be shot safely out of revolvers. Nice round. Wish they made more guns for it. Even a revolver maybe. .22 special. Another good video. Thanks!

Another one I’d not heard of.

I think we called it 22 special. I thought it was a Remington round?

Very nice shirt and a nice gun

If .22lr and .22wmr had a son....

When I was a teen (1970's). I would see the 1903 Winchester WRF for sale pretty cheap. My Dad had a model 63 Winchester bought in 1948 which looked similar. Dad would say "if you buy one, good luck getting shells for it". I wish I'd bought one back then but didn't. I did buy a 22 magnum Savage 4M 1978 without him knowing though. Still got it. Best 40 bucks I ever spent.

Kinda beat the 21 Sharp by ....130 years! Thanks for the info. Good stuff.

thank you sir for straighting this out i have that rossi on layaway rite now and i must say awsome shirt

I’m smart now!

Thanks for the info I knew but not much interest in the wrf ammo hard to find priced higher too

Great video Richard. I have a pair of single action.22 revolvers and a.223 Lever action Henry
