Based on what others have said I expected more from the magnum cylinder, and was surprised at how well the LR cylinder did. But, this was just a quick trip to see if it shot. Will try other ammo and see what happens .
Did you get to try some WRF ammo? It’s not WMR...
Huh? I am pretty sure I see magnum on that cylander
I had to look it up. You can shoot wrf in wmr but not wmr in wrf. Wrf is between LR and WMR in length
Correct. Funny thing the box says do not use in Revolvers but it never used to. I’ve been doing it for years to great effect.

What 1888? It was introduced in 1890 for the Winchester pump rifle.

Correction 1890 second model. It's a little winchester pump take down rifle.
Oh cool! Yep that’s the one!!! Great ammo and I wish they were still making guns for it. I’d buy a new manufacture of those Winchester pumps in a heartbeat! Maybe someone at Uberti is a listening 😁
Back on topic, all the years I have had the Single Six w/mag cylinder, I never thought to use the 22wrf ammo. I have several boxes of it stashed for a rifle I cleaned, fixed a few things, shot it maybe 8 times and after meticulously cleaning it, put it in a sock and in the safe. Need to get the little revolver out and give it a try. Mine is a tac driver with magnums and OK with LR.

Most of mine have been that way. That was the reason why I ended trying the WRF fodder in them, searching for something milder and more accurate to shoot out of my .22 Mag convertibles. I’ve had great results with it over the years.
This also the reason why I ended up with an old pre-convertible Single Six in .22lr only. At some point I intend to buy a newer single six and make it a dedicated .22 Mag gun. Hoping someone with a lost .22lr cylinder will give me a great deal 😁
And BTW this is not a slight on Single Six convertibles at all. Still one of the best (if not THE best) and most versatile rimfire revolvers our there and I love them. With ammo they like they are darn fine shooters in .22lr. They are just in my experience a little pickier than other dedicated .22 guns.
That is my Single-Six, I love it, I missed 2 grouse with it last weekend, must have bumped the back sight, I picked up a holster for it off Rugers website..

No it's not marked. The store owner said it was based on the box. I really didn't think it was an anniversary model since the gun isn't marked as such.
And now that I think about it the box doesn't say 50th anniversary. It just has a label on the top with the dates 1953-2003.
But it doesn't matter. The anniversary part didn't matter to me at all. The price, barrel length, and just having a 2nd Single Six to give to each of my sons one day is what appealed to me.
I'm glad you posted that. You confirmed my suspicion.
For shooting, I'd rather have the adjustable sights anyway..........

That long throw of the hammer on a SA is hell on accuracy. If your follow through is not flawless it’s tough to get the tiny groups. Not bad for about 10 yards offhand!
Many years ago I bought a single six that appeared unfired but only had the magnum cylinder. Paid 75 dollars for it. Looks like I need to try wrf in it.

I'll try to remember to post target pics tonight.
I, unfortunately, haven't shot my other 1 near that much
