Interesting comparison of .17 HMR vs. .22 WMR

[SmallBoreSnipers]

I came across this a long time ago and thought I'd post it here since I know there are a lot of fans of both, and for different reasons. I've owned both and personally I prefer the .17 HMR due to it's accuracy. But that's just my opinion. Read for yourself.

Great article, I stumbled across it a month or so ago and enjoyed reading it. A lot of good info especially for the guys that are torn between what one to purchase.

I read that a lond time ago too. I have both and the .22WMR stays in the safe. My CZ .17 HMR will shoot rings around the Ruger 22 mag in the accuracy department. The only downside to the .17 HMR is that you had better make a head shot on a critter you plan to eat.
