[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5013345, member: 220"] I gave the 17 HMR and 22 Mag a good lengthy field test. I never shot anything larger than a groundhog/opossum with them but hands down, the 22 Mag out performed the 17. I found the 17 to be very unpredictable in what it did after the bullet struck the animal. Using the Hornady Vmax ammo for both. Some groundhogs, the 17 would hit and cause the most gruesome wound channel that you could imagine. And then on another one, the groundhog barely have a hole and run off and die. With the 22 Mag, those particular bullets were pretty much the same result for everything I shot...everything had a quarter to half dollar size wound channel and never took another step. There’s also a bigger variety of bullets for the 22 Mag asides from the Vmax. I sold my 17 and haven’t missed it at all. [/QUOTE]
