Thread: 22 mag or 17hmr

I have a 22WMR and I really like it, do a lot of spotlighting with it either from a quad or the back of a ute and general pest control (pigeons and hares) on a friends farm. It has a cheap gun city 3-9x40 with a sort of mil-dot reticle which is great for estimating holdover at all ranges. I haven't gone much further than about 150yards at the mo, but that is usually enough for me.

Anything that I hit goes down and stays down with 30gr V-max hornady stuff and there are harder/heavier projectiles for goats and wallabies. Only reason I went for this over the 17HMR was I heard they don't like the wind as much but no real experience with that so I can't pass judgement.

Overall I am really happy with my Marlin 925M, I should really get it suppressed as it can be a bit loud though.
