What do you all think? I've got a Marlin 22 mag that is a blast to shoot.Been looking at the 17's for awhile.Do you think one is better overall? Or will the 22 do everything the 17 will do or vice-versa.
.22 WMR all the way man! Packs a punch way out of proportion to what the numbers on paper would lead you to believe.
I don't have much use for s .17 HMR. They have more drawbacks than benefits over a .22 WMR in my opinion.
Give me a 34 or 40 grain HP out of a .22 WMR any day. the .17 is too light for my liking.
This ugly little dude is one of my favorite "utility" guns to have in the truck or keep handy for varmints around the house. Surprisingly accurate for what it is. Ruger 96 with a VX-I
I looked at some ballistics, since I now have a 22wmr, and it looks like from muzzle to 100 yards a 22mag is on par with a 223 between 300-400 yards.
All depending on the load obviously, but that has changed my perception of this round.
