no, the chamber isn't long enough, thats like trying to shoot a 31/2 shell out of a shotgun with a 3in chamber.

no, putting a 22mag in a 22short/long could have bad conceqences, hurt your gun, and more importantly you.

Chamber isn't just too short, its too tight. A cartridge won't even slide in (suppose you could force it). But no, its not safe even if you got one into the gun.

And please don't do it the other way around either. .22LR in a .22WMR chamber really isn't a good idea.
