    If ammo existed and it wasn't horrendously priced, and someone made an AR in it that was legal here. Yea.

    If it was bolt action only na I'll just shoot 223.

    If it was in a semi it would need to be AR pattern and not some janky bespoke 10/22.

    You'd ideally be looking for 22 Hornet performance from a rimfire.

    I had a 17wsm upper for a while. It was significantly more fun to shoot than a 22lr. Unfortunately the ammunition quality was rubbish.

    I know of guys that have used them with great success on goats, pigs and fallow. The muzzle energy essentially matches 9mm fired from a handgun. But it is going a lot faster.
