WMR vr HMR

[Stover Rover]

I, like many others dumped 17 HMR back along when the ammo was terrible. Had a few WMR's and find it a very useful chambering. I'm not tempted to have another 17 HMR, as I completely lost faith in the ammunition quality.
The actual velocity generated by the WMR exceeds factory data, making a pleasant change from some wildly optimistic velocity claims on centrefire ammo.
For example, Hornady 30 grain V-Max 2250 v 2200 published. Remington 33 grain Accu-Tip 2111 v 2000 published and CCI Maxi-mag 40 grain HP 1911 v 1875 published. All from a 20 inch barrel.
Regarding stock holding of 22 WMR, Dauntsey Guns carry a good, varied selection.

It's probably a pointless post as its pretty subjective. I have a slot for a 22wmr and dont seem to see any for sale near me. I dont fancy paying for annew one and cost of rfd makes second hand ones pointless. Would you guys get a variation for a 17 or wait it out?

I went 22 over 17 as I remember when I had my license 8 years split cases, and dud rounds were talked about alot making me reach for the 17 less.

Has this issue been resolved? If you was starting again which cal would you apply for? Pretty much a rabbit gun on relatively flat ground.

Im wondering if its worth the faff of a variation.

Ammo is wsy to you dear Change it to a 22 hornet centerfire load your own
