Haha Alf I guess that we'll have to agree to disagree.

There is nothing that the .17 HMR will do that the .22 WMR with good ammo won't do. Of course, the reverse is true as well. I have shot a lot of game with the .22 WMR (up to coyote-sized) and I hear a lot of old-timers talking about how they killed deer with it (no experience there).
Plus, a .22 WMR feeds better through autos (if that's what you like to shoot).

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
