Re: .17 HMR vs. 22 LR

I made the choice...both.
For hunting I prefer the 17 hmr.
For the range the 22lr gets the nod.
Why? 17 hmr has the flat trajectory,
ideal for small game head shots.
At the range, watching the subsonic 22lr rainbow trajectory
through the scope as it arcs 100 yards to the target
and compensating for wind drift is just plain fun.
MOA accuracy from both calibers means there's no need to choose one.
Which explains why I bought a CZ 455 combo and a Lilja 22lr barrel.
btw, Dan Lilja replied to an email of mine,
17 hmr match grade barrel for the CZ 455 is coming out soon.
