RE: .17 HMR What do you think?
The .17 rim fires may be faster and flatter than the 22 win mag, but the wind affects it "more" too. AND, at longer ranges where the velocity falls off on the .17, the heavier weight of the 22 gives it better killing power.
I'm NOT against the .17, but in the REAL world, it's just not that much better than the 22 win mag., and in some cases, it's not even as good!!
