About LinkBacksI wanted a rifle for rabbits, magpies and plovers so the extra energy the 22mag may or my not have had was not needed.
The 17 shoots flatter, is the same ammo price, and if you are into ballistic charts, is better in the wind than the 22mag.
I love my 17hmr, everything I've shot with it has instantly flipped over and died, its fantastic. Wish ammo was a tad cheaper, but I don't shoot it like I do my 22lr.
My fathers mate, shot a few goats with his 17hmr, said the 20gr bullet would've been better. But I don't think he is the best sho in the world.
Either one would help with a suppressor, as they are a fair bit louder that a 22lr.
