    • @PaulAtreidesMuadDib
      @PaulAtreidesMuadDib Před 23 dny +1

      I'd agree. However if I was in the field and I'd only be carrying one it'd be the .17 HMR due to that flatter trejectory and ability to reach further out and touch the varmits. The only downside IMHO is if you've got a bit of wind the mass of the 22 mag would have less drift. The compromise would be to have one with swapable barrels, however that would not be ideal to do in the field.

      @kennethlocke4213 I had one of those 30 plus years ago. Didn't know what I had then 😞 .22lr on top .410 on bottom. Can't remember who it was made by as I got it in a trade for a 70s Buick Centurion. $45, a.22lr, and the over under. That was just before I left for the Army in 85. Not sure where it is now.
      Nostalgia took over and bought me a Pardner .410 3inch last year. I bought a 9mm sleeve for it due to hard to find slugs and my grandson (14) loves shooting it 🙂. Not to much longer it'll be his 😊. Hope he hangs on to it better than me.

      What I was really talking about is the 32 cal Rimfire ammo which has been obsolete since the early 1900s. There use to be many different Rimfire calibers available until the centerline rounds started dominating and the 22 cal long rifle rimfire hit the market and it too dominated the market. If my memory serves me right,, 32 and 44 calibers Rimfires date back to use in the Civil War even.
      I've shot some 32 cal long, Rimfire in my old Stevens rifle that my Dad had bought and was very impressed with it,,so I'm hoping some manufacturer of both guns and ammo might jump on the bandwagon and bring it back,,,and maybe make a rimfire, Long Rifle and Magnum round also both in rimfire.. I have 3 boxes of 32 caliber rimfire I bought early 2000 that's made in Brazil,,,Last run of 32 cal rimfire that I'm aware of. It was $41.00 a box of 50 then, round 2005.. Guess what it's going for now? Might as well be a box of GOLD now.. Wish I'd bought more,,guy said he had a pallet of it,,buy all I want..Duh,,I bought 3 boxes then.. But I wasn't aware the Brazilian company was shutting down production of their 32 cal rimfire long ammo then either...

    The 22 mag was at a slight disadvantage because it was just above the plate support which would cause a little more flex and absorb some of the shock. I believe if the shot were as low as the first two the mag would have made it through the fifth plate.

      I think that the 17 did the best. It basically matched the result of the 22 mag at half the weight. I do see the point of the place even with that. Half the weight.

      Before you get into rimfire, take a look at the latest modern pellet guns or known as air rifles out nowadays, close to as powerful as a rimfire 22 LR, cheaper to shoot and quiet, it is all that a person needs, with a scope.

    Even the lowly 22 short will kill. I set up a similar test to yours with white pine 2x4's (nominal) with .22 short, .22Long Rifle, and .22 mag out of a North American Arms revolver (short barrel) and the short protruded just out of the first board and the 22 LR and .22 Mag were about the same through 4 boards. A brain or heart shot with any of these and "game over". Thanks for the test !

    I was falling a sleep the first and second times watching this ( not video's fault ).
    I had the same thoughts as some of the other commenters.
    After I woke up I went back and rewatched a third time ( hope in some way it help with the analytics ).
    Saw that both the 17 HMR and the 22 mag were JHP's I've always wondered about 22 mag.
    Awesome idea on this comparison was going to suggest FMJ's compared but if memory serves me correctly no one makes a 17 FMJ in fact the 1 shot here is the closest to that....

    The only real bummer with a 17 is a windy day. I have a buddy that gave me some shells to sight in the new 17 he bought. I shot and hit to the right, adjusted and hit right again. I shot the magazine full and kept adjusting. Then I grabbed my 17 and shot, it hit right as well. Then the wind blew made my paper target fold over and my inside voice said "DUH"... I then went from the open gravel pit to a little draw with some brush and no wind. Zeroed in with no problem. I don't know how fast the wind was but it changed impact 3" at 25 yards.

    I shoot a fair amount of .22LR out of either a Ruger 1022, or an M&P 1522. Love both. Great on small game and pests. But for range, accuracy and flat trajectory, you would be hard pressed to beat the .17HMR. I love my CZ and it has been an incredibly accurate and long reaching little rifle. I have never shot a .22WMR, so have no personal experience, but looking at your results, it seems clear it has excellent stopping power, but possibly at the cost of quite a drop off in trajectory at anything much over 75 to 100 yards. My .17 has been amazing out to 200 yards on occasion and my longest measured rabbit, was out at a ridiculous 275 yards one very still summer evening. A small hold over did the trick and the devastation from that wonderful little round was 'convincing'!

  • @jpvernoutside3378
    @jpvernoutside3378 Před 17 dny

    I have been comparing 22mag and 17HMR for along time on multiple distances and targets.
    Kill power is about the same. I think it is speed vs power in making the bullet expand that equals out the kill power. Accuracy out to 100-110 yards is pretty much the same... after that the 17 continues on a flatter trajectory with speed.and the 22 mag keeps more energy.
    I have found that the 20gr 17HMR is a better round out of my Savage bolt action, heavy barrel.
    Thanks for the cool video. Always enjoy them.
