To be honest, I would suggest the 223. The price difference between 223 ammo and WMR or HMR or the 17m2 ammo is negligible and the performance difference is huge. Anything you can do with a WMR / HMR can be done as well or better with a 223. Cheap WMR / HMR ammo is about $30 per 50 ($60 per 00) and decent 223 ammo can be purchased for around $70 for 100 rounds. And if you start looking at 223 then you could also look at 7.62x39 ....

22LR would be worth it for practise, plinking and rabbits etc.
