.22 WMRcase pistol?
14 Replies
As far as I know the .22 WMR is very hard to get to work well in a conventional semi automatic system. Any predictions on how well would the Boberg system work with this cartridge?

Oleg Volk replied to JVera's discussion .22 WMRcase pistol?"22mag would be ahead, then 5.7, then 17HMR...but each would have serious muzzle flash. 32ACP would perform almost as well and be easier to shoot. 7.62x25 would perform much better at the cost of more flash."

Oleg Volk replied to JVera's discussion .22 WMRcase pistol?"17HMR and FN 5.7x28 are usually loaded with frangible bullets, shallow wounds result. 22WMR from pistol pretty much never expands (except with the more recent Gold Dot and Critical Defense loads), so it penetrates more adequately."
Michael D. Teal replied to JVera's discussion .22 WMRcase pistol?"Oleg, so are you saying that 22 magnum would have penetration on a dog or human? Where as the 17 HMR would not have penetration."
Oleg Volk replied to JVera's discussion .22 WMRcase pistol?"On a small varmint, higher velocity 17 would work well, on a human or a dog it would lack penetration."
Michael D. Teal replied to JVera's discussion .22 WMRcase pistol?"How about 17 HMR? I think the 17 HMR would be better because it would be alot more fun to shoot. I think I read somewhere that 17 HMR has more stopping power than 22 magnum even though it is a smaller bullet."
