[QUOTE="nwcp, post: 322657, member: 20676"] Look at it as being able to make a reliable kill. Most shooters have a fair variety of firearms in their gun safe. .22LR is fine for 50-75 yard shots at rabbit, or squirrel, but for anything out to 100 yards the WMR would be a more reliable weapon. The WMR trumps the .17HMR if you are looking to eat what you shoot. The little .17 can ruin a lot of meat depending on the bullet type, but it does extend your reliable kill range well beyond what the .22LR, or WMR. I have rifles in .22LR, .22WMR and .17HMR. I also have a .22 break barrel airgun for close in shooting when noise and proximity to people, or livestock is an issue. The right tool for the right job applies to firearms. That goes for centerfire as well as rimfire. I'm not looking to push the envelope at the risk of wounding game and not being able to recover it. [/QUOTE]
