Default RE: 22WMR or the 17HMR

ORIGINAL: coloradoprohunter

GET THE .22WMR! SAME SPEED BUT BIGGER BULLET! also, they only sell .17HMR in ballistic tip. If ur shootin somethin small at close range, ur in trouble. .22WMRs go from #10 or #9 birdshot to ballistic tip, including flat nose, hollow point, and all kinds of other bullets. i have a $100 scope for my .22WMR and it has 1.9inch groups at 200 yards. using federal premiums and remington.

I dont know where you get your info butttt the 17hmr is 300fps faster at the muzzle and 400 fps faster at 50 yds 500 at 150yds! and thats with the fastest wmr. also cci and federal make a gamepoint that is not balistic tip! itsajacketed hollowpoint! daes not tear up meat neer asbadI have both a wmr and a hmr. 1.9 inch groups with a.22wmr at 200??????thats impresiveMy 22-250 will do that at 200 and its 3800at muzzle and a 16 power scope! ? the gun above can be .17hmr or 22wmr in ten minutes
