Not directly. The reason is the cases have 2 different diameters. The 22 Magnum is larger than the bullet,and the case of the 22LR is the same diameter as the bullet:

Firing a 22LR in a magnum chamber can be very hazardous and can cause severe eye injury depending on the design of the gun used however, there is a work-around you can do in a pinch, read my post in this thread:
