Excellent video. Good comparison in one place. I also watched your video with coconuts and especially noted how at 200 yards you get a 4 inch drop in the 17, but an 8 inch drop with the 22 mag. That’s impressive how much damage caused despite the pill size. Thanks for a great comparison.
I use my 17HMR as a critter getter around the house. Does great on groundhogs, raccoons and squirrels. I sold my 22mag back a few years ago but wish I still had one.
Thank you for the video. I have a 22wmr and like it. I have never shot a 17hmr but would like to. But i know the 22wmr will get the job done,, for me that is.
That 22mag came out screaming down that range! Can’t beat any of these imo. They all work best for their own purposes it seems! I couldn’t pick just one lol! Nice shooting brother
Just caught your video have and love both caliber use mostly 22lr for squirrel and my 22mag and 17 for ground hog really got addicted to rim fire last couple years
We do pretty much the same thing, just take them out and have some fun! My wife likes her .17 Savage because she doesn’t like too much recoil and she’s getting pretty darn accurate at 50 yds. I like my .22 and .223 and am looking at getting a .22 WMR. Good times.
About week ago when we were hunting and after day we kind of wanted to try long range shots with my .17hmr. In 150 meters there was 0,33dl orange can. 200 meters same size pepsi can. And finally 250 meters 0.5 liter pepsi bottle against small tree on swamp. 150m shot popped with first try. 200m shot needed bit wind adjustment but still managed to hit with third shot when i realised that small wind was enought to push that shot barely off from left side. 250m bottle was bit tricky because all i saw was splash under the bottle and tried to aim even more higher just to realise that i dont have any clue where i was hitting. Finally i actually saw bullet to barely miss that bottle from left. Height was correct whole time and all i had to do was aim off by about 5-10cm. Those hawke scopes with aiming points are nice thing to have and actually are very close to real ballistics so you can actually trust to them. Of course wind is thing what must be compensated but overally im really impressed to accuraty of small rimmfire to hit small targets on distances where actual centerfires will likely miss target of that size. Edit: I had 4-12 power scope but because ballistic conversion from yards to meters i used 10x to make those aiming points to match to meter settings.
@@Lowballinoutdoorz Those Hawke rimmfire scopes designed for that caliber are actually very nice. Range from 22lr normal ammo to 22lr subsonic. 22.wmr and 17hmr. Those aimingpoints in that reticle are just very good thing to have with rimmfires where bullet drop is usually much higher than typical centerfire calibers. For that price what those cost i can honestly recommend. And with phone app what they offer you can play with calibers so one scope can function with different caliber if needed.
I have 3 different 22mags a pump , Henry lever action and Ruger bolt my pump has the longest barrel and at 300 yards with Remington v tip 33grain with three shots hit him two times he fell. I do have a 4.5-12-40mm vortex on it and adjusted for the take and that's farther than I would do again.
17hmr one of my favorite rifles 20gr hp been using it for hog hunting for a few years now one shot behind the ear. Haven't killed any passed 120 yards with it
Like the video, I have 22mag long barrel and medium and carbine bolt pump lever plus 22mag six gun use them for what ever turns my crank, I like my pt22 bolt for long range it likes it, I have a range on my property with targets out to 250 yards my magnums do really well out there. Predators don't stand a chance.
I use a 22 mag hadda 17 but I found it to big for small game and too small for big game I found that it blows up it was great for ground squirrels and other pest control but blew grouse apart if you shot low the mag I've put it through coyotes at 150 yds out hit I coyote at a 100 in the shoulder and it ran buddy give it the 223 when we looked at it the 17 exploded and caused a flesh wound just find the mag gets better penetration and better for coyotes and hogs
Hey, great video, how do you like the minimalist? I just ordered one in 17hmr and yesterday my dad gave me a nice mossberg chuckster 640ka 22 magnum so I'll have both. The minimalist looks awesome and my savage model 64 22lr is very accurate and decent for a cheap rifle but I'm actually excited for the savage 93r17 minimalist.
Use it for ground hog crows just for fun I have a savage 22 magnum heavy barrel model 93 have taken it to 150 yds so far enjoy your video never though about 200 yds good job buddy
@@Lowballinoutdoorz hi buddy I used 4 by 4 plywood and it took me good 100-120 rounds to get to it but once I got it it was 4 out of 10 and it’s a lot of fun! Specially for some one like me who’s doing this for less then 2 yers
17hmr is just plain and simple superior to the 22wmr its simple ballistics. Like shooting a rock as a projectile with the 22 or shooting an arrowhead for the 17.

@@Kesssuli sweet I'll have to try 1 thanks bud!!
My wife and I both predator and hog hunt with ours! Shot placement is the key!
You got that right

Sweeet, man that's cool. I would love to see what mine would do with a little better scope on it... sounds like u have a great collection of 22mags!!
Hey mate, i use my 17hmr on bunnies but a standard 22lr when its windy. The 17hmr is a lithgow which is beyond amazing and 452 CZ for the 22lr
Sounds great!!
17hmr one of my favorite rifles 20gr hp been using it for hog hunting for a few years now one shot behind the ear. Haven't killed any passed 120 yards with it

Very nice!!
I like them both, but I've always been a speed freak no matter what I'm shooting, so I'll have to go with the 17hmr 👍
Very nice! I love um both as well.
Nice shot man. I haven't shot a gun in years bit it was never even 100 yards. Lol maybe 50 haha
Thanks bud.....
Awesome! I better get my pumpkin before you shoot em all hahah. Great video!
Thanks bud!!
@@Lowballinoutdoorz Ha ha yah was awesome. We use to do a lot of this! One time we blasted a lot of canned fruit...lol
@@SaskFisher that would be a blast hah
i know i've suggested before, but definitely set up a camera to record the actual shot at the target. would have been great to see the explosion.
Doin ok? Haven't seen ya post a video in awhile
