MAGAZINE
The 9-shot .22WMR magazine for the Ruger Model 10/22 Magnum is longer than
the 10-shot .22 long rifle magazine for standard Ruger 10/22 carbines. Do not
attempt to use standard 10/22 magazines in the 10/22 Magnum rifle or load .22
short, long, or long rifle ammunition into the .22 magnum magazine. They will not
function correctly and are unsafe to use in .22 Magnum rifles (see “.22 Magnum
Ammunition Warning”, p. 9).

Never attempt to use .22 Long Rifle ammunition in Ruger 10/22 Magnum rifle
magazines. The cartridges have a smaller case diameter and can split or burst
when fired in the larger magnum chamber, releasing hot powder gasses and par-
ticle fragments out of the action at high speed, possibly resulting in injury to the
shooter or bystanders.
