Ooh. Yeah. I hate to break it to you... but that's not a real thing either. The .17HMR has an advantage there. 17gr .17HMR Vmax load, 2550fps with a BC .125 bullet. .22WMR, 30gr Vmax - 2200fps with a BC .095 bullet. Or you could step up to a 40gr softpoint or hollowpoint in the .22WMR, and get 1910fps with a BC of about .1-.125. The 45gr hollowpoint loaded by Hornady has a BC of .110, but that's still less than a 17gr in .17HMR, and it's still going 850fps slower.
I've used and owned both, and the .17HMR is far superior in pretty much every way. Except that the .22WMR has more energy and bigger bullets, so people think that it's good for shooting goats and so forth. I've tried it, it's rubbish except with head and neck shots, and I can make head and neck shots with a .17HMR.
