if the .22 mag ammo will fit, is it OK to shoot it?
If the 22 mag fits and you want to use a lighter load, buy a box of 22WRF (Winchester Rim Fire). I've seen 22WRF at Cabella's and also online; CCI is one of the few companies producing this size.
I recall reading the 22WRF is the cartridge upon which the 22Mag is based--but verify this yourself since it is your GrandDad's firearm.
The Model 88 sounds like a sweet family heirloom, enjoy.

The blue is in rough shape, it's just been in that can for over 30 years. My uncle said he use to shoot that pistol when he was a teenager and had forgotten about it. He always just shot .22 ammo in it though. He was grinning like a kid, when we shot it last night. We just shot it into the dirt out the back of his barn.
He said "I use to take that gun to shoot snakes with, at the creek" Made me think of John Prine and Mulenburgh County, I didn't say that to him though, he probably would have thought that was weird. He probably never heard of John Prine.
