[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2841335, member: 8394"] 17 hmr and 22 wmr are just personal preference, one is a little flatter the other hits harder with a tad more weight. But honestly neither do great in the wind past about 125. I've used the 17 hmr since I was old enough to buy a rifle and a 22 wmr even longer. I've several of either and predominantly use my 22 mag to 85-100 yards up through fox's, and my 17hmr gets use after burrowing varmints as far as I can make hits... usually about 2 -225 yards on Belding squirrels or the like. But honestly on a breezy day it's limited to Maybe 150 yards. Those little pills really move around in the wind. My favorite mild report varmint gun is my 17 Hornet but it's very niche and not volume practical right now. But it's the noise limit un supressed in and around farm houses. 223 is next step up, it's capacity is very well documented and debated. It's really like comparing a Tacoma to a f 350, just different class cartridges. If I were not around farm houses ever, I'd likely shoot 223 at everything. [/QUOTE]
