Default .17 HMR Questions

I just got a .17 HMR for christmas and would like to know a few things about it. I already own a .22 mag that shoots great. What is the difference in the knockdown power of the .22 mag and the .17 HMR? How much different dose the wind effect the .17 bullet because it is so light? What would you recomend to hunt with it? I used my .22 mag for squirrels and rabbits once and it was too much, Is the .17 going to be too much also? I would like to try to use it for turkeys in the fall but im not sure if it is accurate enough yet. Ive only shot a few rounds through it and it seemed to shoot well but we will have to see.
