22 Mag or 17 HMR

[blazedawg87]

The only reason I own anything in 22lr is for the girls to shoot. Once the youngest is big enough to shoot a 243 we won't have any 22LRs anymore.

Aint nothing better than some suppressed 22!

Suppressed 300 win mag?

Only real advantage is being able to use it during small game season.

Same here, I shoot hogs with .22 mag during small game season. Now I use .50cal cap and ball muzlleloader because can't find .22 mag locally.

The one on 124 S. of 78. Hell, PM me if you need a box, I probably have 10-15 laying around, I'm more than happy to let a fellow OTD'er enjoy it if I'm not!

*edit* Academy usually has it too on 124 between Snellville and Lawrenceville.

If you are distance shooting, stick with the 17. I have .17 WSM and love it. The only .22 mags I have are AMT Automag and Grendel P30!

Not a bad idea, but you better not miss...

This is my only reservation. I had an AMT but now I'm really thinking and the PMR30

I go to Academy and Walmart the one you mentioned (every week) but never see .22mag, most I see is Winchester .17
Looking for CCI .22 WMR Maxi-Mag 40grain for hunting.

So far never missed the shot with iron sight on .50 cap and ball, one shot the hog drop down on the spot.
But lately I have right eye problem, can't shoot dead-on with iron sight more than 75 yards. That's why I want going back to .22 mag with scope.

Have you ever taken a look at the 17 WSM? It's the fastest rimfire in the world. Has a 3000fps MV for a 20 grain bullet and 2600fps for the 25 grain.
