I have both a 17hmr and a 22wmr barrel for my CZ457. The 22mag has never been on. 17hmr is like a laser and drops foxes inside 150 if I do my part. I'll be putting the 22wmr barrel on soon just to see how it goes as I have a few boxes of ammo to burn. But I cant see it being as good. The only thing going for the wmr in my book over the hmr is that sub sonics are easily available for it. If you're really worried about wind deflection and dropping foxes past 150m - neither are good options. And 22wmr ammo is notoriously innacurate.
the 22mag accuracy in a weihrauch hw60 i had varied from .75" with no wind and a good batch of ammo , to 1 1/2" with wind and a different box of ammo . i've heard 17hmr is more consistant once you've found what ammo brand/weight it likes. would 17hmr shooters consider this to be the case ?
I have found the cci A17 ammo works extremely well and accuracy at 100 is always around that 1/2 moa groups are the norm. Trial and error big rich
