I want to add a small caliber rifle to my collection. I'm thinking 17 HMR or 22 cal. I would like to use it along my 12 gauge shotgun for grouse and duck hunting, even goose hunting if possible. Which caliber do you guys think is the best for this? I'm talking arctic conditons but the winds are not so high that often. I don't want to cause damage to the meat, but of course headshot doesn't cause damages to the meat. What bullets to use for these birds?

Thanks
