I am not sure what that has to do with buying a gun. The 22 Magnum extends your range and gives you more oomph. Appreciably more. The 17 HMR is generally silly accurate with a variety of ammo, extends your range even more and is much less likely to ricochet. The 17 grain bullet comes apart easily.
Especially the TNT hollow point. Will not shoot through house cats, coons or possums that get into buildings.
