Went and chased some grouse around the other day with a good friend, we were both using .22s. I was using a CZ with a 10 round mag, and he was using a 10/22 with 10 round mag. Afterwards, he commented on having a full magazine. I understand for shotguns, 3 shell limit - 2 in the pipe, 1 in the chamber. Does any of this rule apply to .22's or can I load a full mag?
hunt any game bird using
a shotgun in which the magazine and chamber combined will hold more than three rounds of ammunition,
a trap, or
bait.][/QUOTE]
It's not just a limitation of three rounds in a shotgun. The shotgun must be plugged to not allow any more than two in the magazine and one in the chamber.
To my knowledge there are no two round magazines for a .22
A full mag is fine for rimfire. However since you mentioned a 10/22 make sure you only have a 10 round mag or a larger mag pinned to 10 rounds as the RCMP have declared 10/22 mags as pistol mags because they also fit the charger pistol. This makes it a prohibited device.
Yet a 25 round mag in a Remington 597 is fine.
