Shorts or Longs in an LR cylinder

[Kensterfly]

Can you fire .22 shorts or .22 longs in an Long Rifle NAA cylinder?  I know they will work in my .22 rifle and Ruger Single Six.

Thanks!

Yes. No problem.

Thanks!  I have a whole bunch of shorts left behind by my dad-in-law.  I'd rather use them up first and save my LRs and Mags, since they are so hard to find these days.

Kensterfly.
After you shoot the 22 shorts clean the crud out of the chambers before you shoot 22 LRs. The firing of shorts will leave a burnt powder ring in the chamber that can interfear with the longer 22LRs, causing more pressure when you fire them.

Good to know, Boone.  Thanks!
