IT is here to stay. as a rim fire enthusiast, I have the 17 HMR, 22 LR, 22 WMR, and a 22 WRF. The WRF round is already hard to find. The 22 WMR will not be replaced by the 17 HMR.

For taking rabbits and the occasional coyote I love my 22 mag I use the hornandy 30 gr v-max and they are AWSOME!!! I had a 17 but found no real use for it except punching paper and I can do that with 223 realoads for less money so I traded it off on a 12 ga...

IMO, for a magnum rimfire, strickly target shooting or smaller game, (rabbits, squirrels, ect.) the 17HMR. if more into hunting or little larger game, (fox, coyote, raccoon, ect.) the 22WMR.

Didn't know this post was still active.  Hornady has come out with a couple of really fantastic .22WMR rounds....even for some pistols: Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Ammunition :: Rimfire :: 22 WMR
After some research and experience since I posted....I am very confident the .22WMR is here to stay. Its a sweet round, relativley inexpensive to shoot and packs a nice little punch. There was just a piece on Guns and Ammo TV showing ballistic gel tests. .22WMR is approaching the penetrating power of a .380. Now thats impressive!

I have 2 22 mags and have owned 2 others. I have also owned a savage 17 hmr. My uncle has it now and he can keep it gladly. My 22 mags arent goin anywhere unless they get stolen like my 1st one did. I miss that little pump jc higgins awfully too, none of my others have been that accurate. It was minute of nickel with five shots at 100 on a fairly calm day. That was after me and my gunsmith teacher drilled and tapped it and put a scope on it though.
