ab4ka's answer is correct.

It will work, accuracy probably will not be as good and you may get some split cases, definitely bulged. A split case in a revolver is not a safety issue. The rim of the .22 WMR is slightly thicker so there will be excessive headspace and possibly some mis-fires in some guns. Not the best idea, but not dangerous.
