well its a given fact, if weight is to stay constant, then length must increase to keep a given diameter. hence the 22lr is longer in length.

there is an improved up pressured version of the 22lr in case you have not been looking to hard at the shelf. I believe its called the "22 WMR", it is a little known cartridge in the rimfire department.
