Negative to both.
I'd like to try my S&W .22 Jet just for giggles. Not nearly as accurate as a TC!
Oddly, 25-20 is allowed, and, of course, .22 Hornet and ".32-20" (AKA .30-20 for BF users.)

Humble opinion, the 25-20 is the perfect round for FP. More reliable than the Hornet, less recoil than the others.
