I’m trying to help a guy out who just acquired a rifle chambered for .22 Long. I understand that it will accept a .22 L.R., but the rifle’s rate of twist may be wrong for the heavier bullet. Any suggestions on where to get .22 Long ammo? Thanks.

Try the LR, I bet they work fine

In addition to those (high-velocity & loud) links posted by Craig0ry, CCI also sells a (slow & quiet) 'CB' version in 22 Long. CCI #38, upc 076683000385.

CCi also makes 22 Long blanks.

CCI is one of the only brand options I've seen in the past few years, but - fortunately - CCI ammunition is a great option.

If it is chambered in 22 Long and not LR then the throat will not be long enough and he should not be shooting 22 LR out of it.

22 Long has the same case length as 22 LR but a shorter and lighter bullet. It would be ok for him to fire 22 short but long rifle would be a bad idea unless the chamber were reamed.
 
He obviously can shoot shorts and hopefully can find CB Longs still. I have old semi that likes longs too . Even if you can only a twit would shoot LR in it .
 
I haven't looked in some time, but my local CT back when I lived in Coquitlam regularly had shorts and CBs, might have had longs too.
