WILL MY MARLIN SHOOT .22short?

[NorthShoreMinnJim]

Marlin XT-22 Bolt will do it

I have a Marlin XT-22 Bolt action, tube feed rifle and it will shoot .22 shorts all day long. The tube feed holds 25 shorts, 19 long <<<not LR, and 17 .22LR. Shorts everything except .22 magnums. It even shoots the "Colibri" caps, but they are horrible rounds. No powder, only a primer and start dropping off after only about 25 feet.

None of my semi auto 22's will cycle 22 short or CCI 22 long quiet rounds.
My bolt action eats them all. My friend has a Henry lever and it also eats it all.
The CCI quiet rounds sounds like a pellet rifle, not fast enough to cause a bang.

If noise is the issue, as stated above, use CCI 22LR Quiets. They will feed on my
10/22 but the bolt will not cycle. I just cycle it by hand after every shot.
I think the cost for 22LR Quiets and shorts is about the same.

I have a older Remington 552 BDL Speedmaster it will feed shorts,longs or long rifle mix and match.
My Henry will do the same.
