[QUOTE="Bull_TN, post: 4839758, member: 19688"] A .17 HMR is a .22 Mag case necked down to a .17 cal bullet. So, you have the same amount of powder pushing a smaller, more aerodynamic projectile. In my opinion, the .17 HMR is the superior round of the two. You should take a look at the .17 WSM. That round was developed with the same idea (necking down a larger rim fire cartridge), but Winchester necked down a .27 nail gun case (larger than the .22 mag case). The result is an even faster and flatter shooting round. The ammo of both .17's are the same price were I shop. Hope that's useful. [/QUOTE]
