* No can do.* You also cannot shoot .22LR in a 22 Magnum.*

I would say yes, but I'm not completely sure. I usually shoot LR ammo from my .22 revolver, so I would think that it would work the other way around. Just to be sure, you might want to look on your rifle manufacturer's website. Could be some useful info on there. Best of luck.

It won't fit, so no.

To anyone who says yes, try it and report back to us
