[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 834842, member: 6713"] The closest apples to apples comparison would be; 17 HMR Remington $16.79 22 mag Remington w/33gr ballistic tips for $18.79 These prices are from Midway USA. I can buy 17hmr right now at the feed and farm store for $10.99 but my gun doesn't like it(which means it only shoots over 1 in groups at 100yds instead of under in) BTW I have yet to see a 22mag that will group better than either one of my 17's and believe me it's been tried, and as long as I'm bragging I have shot small game (rabbits) in the head at 110yds with my Ruger Single Six pistol(in 17HMR) with a 1MOA red dot scope, off a rest of course. Keep in mind that all other rimfire 22's(other than 22mag) cannot even begin to match the 17HMR for energy, speed, and BC. The 22mag remington ballistic ammo is an incredible round and doesn't ricochet like all the other lead or FMJ rimfire rounds will and do. all comprisons to centerfire ammo are not valid as far as I am concerned but just for shyts and giggles the cheap 40ct Winchester white box of 22/250 is $31.99 hooknline if you don't like the 17 don't buy one but I believe your info to be at the very least outdated. Sure there is cheaper ammo for the 22mag but it won't perform ballistically like the premium Remington ballistic tips, and they ain't cheap. [/QUOTE]
