Quoted:
Thinking of buying a .22 mag, never owned one, but I have shot a few, and I like that extra punch and range for raccoon sized critters. Is the ammo for them being neckbearded with regularity like the .22 lr? Honestly I haven't even checked the shelves in months for anything because I have all my calibers stocked right up. If I pick up a new rifle though I am going to want to grab a few hundred rounds for it to get comfortable with it, mail order to NY isn't much of an option, so I am stuck with local places. it's even worse, haven't seen any in years |

WMR is all over the place where I live. Saw about 50 boxes of it at the hardware store today. I agree though, just go .17 instead.

It is not too hard to find here, but the price might be a 'little' high. Usually around $15/50 rounds. I still have a fair amount on hand so am picky about price.

You mentioned extra range. Probably should get the .17.

I'd just go .17 hmr On the fence, I really like the laser beams that the .17HMR shoots, but I want the bigger bullet. Not looking to do much past 100 yards, so it should be a wash. There are more options for semi-auto in the .22mag also. |

I've seen a lot at $13-15/50 So I should be able to trade a brick of golden bullets for about 200 rounds of magnum.

Much worse. While I don't own one any longer, I still keep an eye out as my friend bought his son a 22Mag Cricket a couple of years ago. I don't know the last time I saw any on the shelf.
I'd go with 17HMR if it was me. I've never not seen any on the shelf. |

I haven't shot my .22 mag in years. It's been that long since I've seen any ammo on the shelves and I'm too afraid to shoot the few boxes I have.

Cabela's stocks it regularly but only in the 50-count. The Swamp People bulk packs are still missing. Prices range from, $13 to $15. |

I picked up a PMR last year . It has been tougher to find than 22 (which I am good on) I have found it regular enough that I probably have about 800-1,000 rounds. It turns up at PSA pretty often
