Calm down Coyotestalker so we got a little off subject! everything will be OK 
The real fact is we don't live in a perfect world we have bullet drift and drop on all calibers. The .22mag has a place in this world or it would not have lived this long and I think the .17hmr is a fun little round and will be around awhile! I squirrel hunt with mine and do quite well at head shots4 out of 5 times. the game points do less meat damage than do the ballistic tip do and they penetrate very well. I do think I like the 17 for longer shots than I do my 22 wmr. the downside is I can shoot a .223 for about the same money as the .17hmr

You got me wrong, I forgot to put a smiley face on the post.
I was merely saying that people were getting off the subject that was orignally presented. No need to get the panties up in a bunch, on both sides. Keep on varminting with that .17HMR.
