I was reading the rules for range at AGC and saw that no ammo labeled magnum is allowed. Does this include 22WMR? I may be misreading something but does this apply to all ranges or specific ones?

I think this only applies to shooting steel targets.
OP, so long as your question does not relate to shooting steel targets, you can shoot 22 rimfire magnum, or 460 Weatherby Magnum, or any other magnum round you so choose.
So no to a 22WMR, but you can shoot a 416 Rigby or 500 Nitro Express at steel? No “magnum” in the name/description, good to go? OK, so a little sarcastic......OP, so long as your question does not relate to shooting steel targets, you can shoot 22 rimfire magnum, or 460 Weatherby Magnum, or any other magnum round you so choose.

Sorry, I was just being a sarcastic jerk. I don’t really care one way or the other.You’re actually not too far off. I could write a book about this, and without elaborating, will suffice it to say that I already pretty much have.
The present policy is sorely in need of review IMO. At present, the very best thing you can do is to run your thoughts on the matter through your member club. And if they are in agreement and will back your play, have them formally request a complete review by the AGC’s RSSOP.

It does sound like the rules could cause some confusion though.
