There is a youtube video where a guy shoots 22LR in a convertible (22LR, 22WMR) revolver that came with two cylinders.

He saw a reduction in velocity of more than 300FPS (if I recall correctly) when he compared shooting LR from the WMR cylinder vs LR from the LR cylinder in the same revolver.

I'm think you are losing a lot of pressure from the undersized cases, at least for a short period until the LR case bulges enough to fill the chamber diameter.

So that's another issue along with accuracy deterioration.
