Just looking at the holes the 22 Mag made, brother that round is no joke. The 22 LR may not have shot through the second door, but it did penetrate the metal on the first door pretty well. To be honest, I wouldn't want to get shot with either of them. You may think this was a backwoods test, but you're showing real world results of what these rounds can do. Excellent video, sir!

I have too agree with you! When I was 19, I was hit by a 22lr at close range. I was hit on the left-front side of my leg, and it tore a hole right through. It then exited my leg, and entered again in my groin area. The bullet stopped at the lining of my stomach. The weird part about it was I only felt a hot burning sensation for a second, and then there was nothing. I didn't even know it hit me until somebody pointed out the blood on my pants. I thought it just grazed me! The worst part was getting a catheter while I was awake. Now that hurt!

She fired six rounds into him at close range. All six penetrated the chest fully leaving exit holes out his back. The attacker did no survive to do ever try that again!! Enough said.

Actually kind of liked this one, I see so many people on youtube that seem to be out to just waste my time, but this was a good, quick, and informative little piece, and I enjoyed it. I was kinda surprised by the chrony readings, and then when I went back and pulled up the ballistics by the inch chart I remembered...pretty sure they included the chamber in the barrel length. People have a lot of dumb sayings when it comes to guns and most of the time just repeating what someone else told them. I still go 22lr for my normal carry pistols around the property. Extra 100-200fps doesn't mean that much to me and I'm really accurate with my HP22a, plus usually it's just critters that get shot at around here, but even in town I still have the 22lr. I believe it'd be slightly more effective than a pen knife, which is all I carried for most of my life.

I owned a 22 magnum since I was 12; I had one kind or another for over fifty years. One thing I found to be true is hollow point 22 long rifle bullets are less important than accuracy. Heavy bullets penetrate deeper than lighter ones most often. This leads to the conclusion that the 40 grain 22 long rifle bullet works best in pistols and rifles. Higher velocity bullets in pistols work better than most others in pistols too. The CCI ones you use Work Great; that’s why I have a thousand of them. The 22 mag is more powerful plain and simple. I have 22 mag ammo with 30 gr jacketed bullets and 50 gr lead bullets. You can buy 22 long rifle ammo with 50 and 60 gr bullets too. Anyone saying a 22 is a poor choice for self-protection; likely never got shot with one. I beg to differ on that idea a little. I use a 22 long rifle for squirrels because it is not as loud as a 22 magnum and that matters. I use a 22 magnum for hunting groundhogs with 30 gr jacketed bullets; the added velocity works better at ranges to 125 yards. I use lead bullets for turkey, fox, and coyote at closer ranges. The lead bullets pass thru and do less damage to the eating parts. The groundhogs eat good too; but I don’t eat the head. One of those little 30 gr bullets turn their head into a beanbag with ears. I believe what I see more than what someone tells me to be true. Fact is; I saw my Pappy turn enough big hogs into bacon with a 22-short. I know a 22 gets the job done if you know how to use one.

Winchester developed the 22 mg in 1959. The intent was to give rifle velocities with a 4 inch pistol. So your conclusion is spot on. It never really caught on because it was intended for varmints. BUT because most varmints are small and several yards distant, most farmer types (and the like) had trouble shooting handguns at small targets. The good ol' 22 rifle is found on nearly every farm in America for good reason. Even grandma can use it.

But I was really surprised about how little damage the 22 LR did against the door. I wouldn't feel so confident about punching through light cover with one if I had to. But that Magnum punches through like a rifle would. Great video! It needed to be made.

One thing I noticed with .22 WMR/LR conversion revolvers, is that barrel length matters. Before I had a chronograph I noticed that in the 1" NAA Mini there wasn't much difference, but in my 4.6" Ruger Single Six there was a huge difference. All my conclusions were based on just shooting stuff. I had guessed in the 4.6" barrel I was getting 100 ft lbs vs 150 ft lbs so I was close in my guess. My fence post tests with the 4.6" barrel said it all lol. It would stop all .22 LR rounds but the Magnum would pass through. An extra 50 ft lbs is nothing if we are talking .45 auto, but in a .22 cal bullet 50 ft lbs is HUGE, like doubling it's potential essentially. People don't understand scaling, but .22 Mag is way better than .22 LR.

Ahhhh Buffalo you're not all that "Hillbilly" otherwise you'd have shot into the car door of one of the cars on blocks in your front yard. Good vid. and I enjoy the vids of you shooting long range hand gun you're a good shot. Maybe as good as Hickock45.

22 LR or Magnum is no joke. Proper bullet placement and they are effective. Great demonstration and statistics, thanks for sharing.

Great video! The 22mags even sound louder on camera. I wonder what a 22lr 40gr Velocitor would run from the 3in bbl... 🤔 The jackets on the mags def help their performance Thanks again Buffalo 👍

Not a big gun enthusiast, but i did just buy the Ruger 22 LCRx wondering if i had bought a decent home defense revolver that also would be a good range plinker. Hill Billy or no, you convinced me i did OK Like your presentation. Straight ahead without all the "stuff" some use to introduce their thing. Real info wins every time. Thank you.

Carry the 22. Mag...I have a four inch taurus tracker...both cylinders...I like the 22 long rifle out of a rifle and pistol...the 22.mag is still heavier and a little faster..better for home defense or personal protection...even if it's a little better..and faith in God through Christ in these times. Nice clean video. Love it.

The chronograph's Standard of Deviation for the WMR (think of it as velocity 'grouping') was 60% of what it was for the LR. That makes for more consistent shooting.

I have the same wish. I love Ruger's LCR line and 6 shots of 22WMR is good but 8 would be better. Taurus makes that 8 shot 22WMR right now and it has my attention.

Next comparo--32 S&W short or long SWC vs. 22mag. Mostly because I have old H&Rs, but also just because.

My wife carries that in 22mag , & we couldnt be happier. Another + is in the dark it has huge muzzle flash and loud report -- we feel that is a significant psychological factor to anyone facing the business end -- looks and sounds like a 38 , at least

Who needs ballistic gel. That 22 mag would be a lot scarier after dark. The muzzle flash not to mention the sound. 22 mag all the way.

To all of the naysayers: if it says “Magnum” on it, it’s more than likely superior to non magnum rounds! I do really need to get me a .327 wheel gun though. I’d seen it tested out before, being a dual caliber revolver, but your review cemented that in my brain LOL

327 is an interesting round, but it is LOUD! I mostly shoot 32 h&r in mine, and if you handload the h&r can be a very respectable round... Buffalo Bore h&r's I only shoot in heavy duty Rugers, they stick in my 327 Smith and don't know if I would shoot them in an LCR.

@@mjo4981 oh no doubt, but nobody takes 32 H&R seriously, even though it does have its uses! I've seen a couple of videos that were using an LCR, so it'd probably be fine.

I had my Ruger Wrangler rechambered in 22 Magnum. It increased the accuracy, and of course it increased the power. Lots of rounds fired through this thing. It will definitely handle the 22 Magnum cartridge.

On the one hand I'm one of those guys who think you could've done a better job matching the ammo for comparison, the CCI Velocitor .22 LR 40 grain @1435fps would've made for a more equal comparison. On the other hand I can appreciate what it's like to get your hands on ANY ammo these days... Either way, thanks for the demo. Well done

Nice job! The 22 rim fires are certainly under estimated! The 22 mag is a formidable game round if shot placement is considered. Only negative is the rim fire part. Centerfire cartridges are more reliable.
