If you're a reloader, you can do a .223 for just about the same cost. Plus, the .22 WMR has a reputation as a relatively inaccurate round. I don't have one, so I can't say that's a fact... just something I've heard from more than one source.
The myth of 22WMR being not so accurate is totally false nowadays. When the round first came out that may have been true, but now the current production ammo and rifles in 22WMR are very accurate. I have a Marlin 883 in 22WMR and it puts shots into 1.5 - 2 inches all day at 100 yards. Plenty accurate.wwb said:Plus, the .22 WMR has a reputation as a relatively inaccurate round.
