    You will shoot the 22 way more due to price difference in the ammo.

    But you'll learn to be accurate with a 17HMR

    This, I got my 22 accurate out to 100m. But was finding that it was no longer instant death.

    I picked up a Rossi 17hmr from GC for $349 new. 2 weekends ago my 14 year old son headshot a bunny at 180m. My 22s hardly come out now.
