Personally I think .17HMR is too expensive to feed compared to a .223 in this early stage.
Bill999 is spot on with his thoughts on .223 VS .243, More margin for error at just a little more expense.

Yeah, I was looking at the ammo cost difference. My only 'concern' was pushing out to 100m both at the range and when talking to bunnies. My understanding at this time is that this would be 'easy' for the 17, getting harder with significant bullet drop for the 22.
