Shooting 22LF from a 22Magnum cylinder

[Jaysan60]

I just discovered after about 150 rounds of 22 long rifle that I had the 22 magnum cylinder in my Rouger Single Six. Not that I will do this again but will it hurt the cylinder? There are no visible problems. Please make my mistake a reminder to check!!!

Also, Remember to spell check... That's Ruger...

And it's LR not LF

Nah, you didn't hurt cylinder, doubt if even long term use would.

Did you not notice the bulged casings?

I never thought to do it on purpose, but did a couple not long ago just to see.

You should send the pistol and any remaining ammo to me immediately! After extensive testing, it can be determined if it was damaged.

I did notice the casings but never thought that was the problem-- just old ammo (20-25 years). Thanks for the proof read and info! LOL
