 .17HMR vs: .17Mach2 cartridge

Have you considered a 22 Hornet? It kinda falls in between the 22LR and 223.

Are you hunting on your own private property? If this is the case; the rimfire restriction may not apply to you.

 .17HMR vs: .17Mach2 cartridge

Just my opinion here......... that and 75 might get me a cup of coffee. ;O) I have made upto 100 yard shots with a 22LR. Out to about 75 yards; a 22LR should be able to cover most issues. Beyond that, I use a 223. There are a whole candy store of various calibers that are out there to choose from but depending upon how much you shoot; the cost of ammo can make its use prohibitive. Unless you like the hobby of reloading or have a particular application that requires handloading; reloading is just not cost effective nor practical. The basic cartridges produced in mass volume such as 22, 9mm, 45 ACP, 223, 308, and 30.06 can be purchased for much less than half the cost of these other new cartridges. There is no way I can reload a box of 223 for $4, or a box of 12 gauge for $2.

If the 22 can't cover it, the 223 can. From there the 308 or 30.06 can cover things upto all but the largest game applications. I have a 375 H&H for that but something along the lines of a 338 Winchester or 45-70 will do. These are still fairly plentiful with respect to availability.

I think sticking with the basic, tried and true cartridges is the best way.

What I don't understand or see the logic in is why the restriction on rim fire ammo only? This seems to be the same illogical logic that muzzle loading restrictions has produced. A modern muzzle loader with a rifled barrel, with provisions for a 209 primer, burning smokeless powder, pushing a modern partitioned, jacketed bullet is no different than a rifle. May as well change the restriction to single shot rifles. But the whacky game and hunting laws the states come up with is a subject for anther thread.
