Really appreciate the tests from 100 yards. Much more telling about the actual effect of the round/caliber.

You keep demonstrating how good the 22 mag is. Please continue to do so. WTW......

You should do “how many milk jugs 17hmr fmj vs 22mag fmj”!!!

22 mag all day long. Laws of physics in effect... 🤘

.22 mag again for the win. Absolute best rim fire period. Best case scenario survival long arm. My favorite long arm I have out of the many.

I did this test when the 17 hmr first was hot years ago. The 22 mag the right bullet will drop a deer with a heart or lung shot. Also feathers are tough and the 22 mag will get the job done at suprising distance. You just discovered one of the 17hmrs flaw. Penetration. Small critters it rears up within distance, but honestly a 22lr is better if you plan on your target being groceries. Past the Long Rifle the magnum comes into play, but can be used for both. Just more expensive than 22lr. The 32grain maxi-v+ explodes water jugs pretty well. Nice video! Keep'em coming!

The best part of this video is how nice it is to see a good father spend time with his boys God bless you brother thanks for the great video

Great test. Glad to see the channel is doing well. Been here since the beginning.

Wow! I never expected that. I wish CCI or somebody would work on .22mag ammunition the way some others have developed 9mm rounds to improve performance. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Nice! Getting the kids and pup involved with the ads, very cool and makes the ads less of a pain. You seem like a good dad! Wish I had a dad like you 👍

Have all 17’s, HM2, HMR, and WSM. Also 22 & 22 Mag. Just love all the rim fires for different reasons. Just like hammers, carpenter, mason & ball peen hammers, different applications. Thanks Hoot! Good vid!

So awesome to meet your family 😌💞. Ty for sharing. Love this..lolol

Not sure why the 17 HMR gets so much attention other than being woke in the gun world. 22 mag is a great round and delivers a lot of energy

My late brother shot a spike buck at about 75 yards with a 22wmr through the front shoulder. It went all the way through and exited. The leaving hole looked like a 3006 exit hole. It's a fine round over open ground.

Using the TNT bullet, you know it's not going to penetrate. They're made to expand, explosively, thus the TNT moniker. HMR is great for tiny critters, but the WMR gets the nod for coyote sized game.

Ur boys are so adorable ☺️ u gonna make family channel soon ?

That was awesome WTW! That 17 is moving man! Great video, thanks fir sharing brother!🤘🏽

Pretty funny with the old pup. Nice looking family. That was at 100 yards, that 22mag from my experience with it and from your videos has never ceased to amaze me. Definitely in the all time best cartridges class.

Awesome to see you spending time with your boys.

Great video!!! Wouldn’t have guessed that many for the hollow point 22 mag

Thanks again for the video. I can check it out vicariously with you doing the work. As much as I am intrigued about the .17HMR, I already have .22magnum, as well as 19 other calibers to keep up with.

My money was on the .22 mag for penetration, and I guessed right! The extra weight and bullet density gives it more energy and penetration power. However, I bet that .17 stays more accurate out a little further, and they’re ideal for coyote hunting out to about 150-200 yrds with minimal damage to the hides 👍🏼

The 22Mag Looks Like It'll Hold It's Own As A Standoff Light Self Defense Round That Has Deep Penetration Capabilities In A SHTF Situation! 17HMR May Not Penetrate As Deeply From That Range, But Will Definitely Do Some Damage That Will Keep Your Enemy At Bey! Both Rounds Have Greater Capabilities As Light Self Defense Rounds Then They're Given!

Wow - what a difference - Thanks - The information that you provide us with is so extremely valuable - It helps us make better decisions on what type of weapon and/or ammo to purchase depending on the type of application we intend to use. Again THANKS and keep doing what you are doing. Buster

Great video! It would be interesting to see the penetration differences between the CCI MAXI MAG 40 GR HP and the CCI 40 GR GAMEPOINT rounds!

I was pulling for the 22mag and was not disappointed. Thanks for the test!

Excellent demonstration

I'm not surprised. I have both the .17 and the .22 mag in Savage rifles. The .17 always shatters. Great video.

I’m really impressed with that 22 mag. Nice video! And I ordered a variety pack from maxie squad. I’ll do the Alaska dog test!

Absolutely great video! 🤗👍

I expected the.17 to out perform the.22. Boy was I wrong! Another really fun video! Thanks, Adam.

The .17hmr is meant to dump energy. .22mag really is for great energy and penetrates a bit more.

Great vid for a comparison that clearly shows the superiority of the 22 mag over the 17 HMR.

Awesome video bro. I’m thinking about getting either the 17HMR or 22mag for Small Game and Varmint Hunting. Which of these two would you recommend and why? I’m open to either but I’m looking for your advice as to which would be the best choice. Thanks WTW

Love the 22. Wmr in the Rough rider revolver. Little kick and impressively loud, plus not terribly priced

Great video!!! I don’t know if you already did it or not, but I would like to see the same comparison shooting from 125 & 150 yards. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

I really appreciate the long range shooting of the smaller calibers and showing what they will do at those ranges.

They both did what they were intended to do, with that said they’re both devastating rounds. Great video I loved it

Love the JR competition. Awesome man!

Did my testing on both as well, was impressed with the penetration of the 17hmr compared to 22 mag. 22lr spinning targets did not penetrate with 22 mag but the 17hmr drilled holes through the plates. 50 yards, love the hmr on rodents, absolutely annihilates them. Love both but my go to is the 17.

Thanks, that was fun! The .22 WMR is a serious round.

Awsome comparison. Thanks

Gotta love the 22mag! 💪🏼

Both of these are fun ones to use, the 22 mag did better than I thought. Maybe same shot with FMJ. Thanks again Who Tee Who gods speed to ya and your family 👍🇺🇸

Not only do I love your shooting videos, you have my most profound respect for being a loving father! God bless you and your family!

Hell yeah Great Test man!!

I use the 17hmr for dispatch fairly often on the trapliine. I mostly use the cci 20g Fmj. I would like to see a test of any fmj Rimfire ammo. My findings are penetration is really hitting above its weight class. Cheers. Love the vids.

My fav gun is my model 93 17r savage. Just put a comb on it this weekend. Only negative is stocks are meant for open sights. Terrible cheek weld. Hawkeye comb and it’s all good. .5 to .6 moa

I've never played with a 17 HMR, but I do like the 22 WMR. Thanks for another good lesson!!

Impressive penetration from the .22 Maximag. I think you are correct about the 17 HMR disintegrating from its hypervelocity on impact.

I'd like to see you compare the .17 HMR 20 grain XTP round. Better penetration than the 17 grain TNT and would have been a better comparison than what you chose.

Never would’ve guessed that result ... crazy little round huh 22 mag

The results definitely surprised me. Great video.

Oh yes who tee who good man love videos like this, bit of rimfire action partial towards the 22mag

Thanks for the video. Two of my co-workers said their .17hmr is one of their funnest guns, since it explodes gophers with the ballistic tip.

Excellent comparison. Thank you WTW!!!

TNT bullets are Varmint rounds. .17 had exactly the desired effect.

Well now that was a interesting video, and I would have never thought that the 22 magnum would have that much more mojo than the 17, but like you say that is why you do these tests.

Oh yeah Buddy another classic both fun and interesting 👍👍👍

Living anywhere from the Mason Dixon Line south, if I could have but only one caliber of bullet and no other ..........it would certainly be the 22 Magnum and for very many reasons! . I have believed so and said so for the last 30 years ! I am also a big believer in CCI Rimfire Ammo for longer than that, use 30 and 40 grain . It pleases me greatly all that I have seen accomplished with this round and a in the many different firearms ! It's not for just anybody but in the hands of marksman..........it's something very special. By the way and not that it matters much but The 22 Magnum round went through 4 of the gallon jugs and into the 5th jug , appearing to have almost punching thru the back of that fifth jug . The 22 mag CCI round has more profound changes in how it reacts on and thru its impact than most other calibers.....like water filled jugs compared to meat and bones or phone books.

Surprised about the .17 hmr but that 22 got it done. Great info. I still like them both.👍

Boy oh boy I learned something today thanks

Sweet video....I'm a 22 mag guy over the 17 myself but I sure didn't think the mag would have done that.....Now I know....I just love shooting my Uberti stallion 5.5 revolver in 22 mag.

I'd be surprised if the 17 gets through 2 but I'm hoping the 22 mag makes it into third. Interesting test, I always enjoy watching. Was guessing tripe bone, those maxi squads look good.

I am looking forward to this one! Many has been the debate amongst friends about which of these is the better round. Opinions abound and reasons are many. I don’t think we’ll all reach a consensus on this issue but it’s a fun topic to discuss. I’m a 22 WMR guy because I like the thump down range of the larger projectile. Bigger holes donchaknow? I know, I know-velocity yada yada. Tiny bullet go zoom. Bigger bullet still zooms but weighs twice + as much and makes a bigger hole. Plus, I can buy plastic points for the 22 WMR that do what the pointy little guy does, better ballistics and expansion. And here we go, lol!

Great test!

I definitely didn't expect those results, very interesting. I would never have guessed that the 22mag would have had that much more penetration than the .17HMR. I own both so I'll keep that in mind. Nice test.

Everything I have read on the .17 hmr and hm2 says they are made to fragment on impact so they are safer to use around houses. They fragment on impact and don't ricochet like a .22 can.

When I first saw this in thought yeah so what and by the end yer goofy country charm won me over.. and I learned something . I said the lighter faster would have gone farther but just like Kennedys head it split out split up and just plain split altogether ... i think i found a piece in Arizona. The ballistics of these ranch house workhorses kept me busy with marmots in Ridgeway. We had 14 Arabians and 460 acres 20-30 head tops and it was up by Dennis Weavers. From TV detective McCloud... actually he got started limping for Marshall Dillon's cofee remember? Well we sure put a few down range ... Dads Air Force champion 24 years. The arsenal was..... well what do you want.. I liked the fat barrel 22s .. Super tight groups at any feasible range 100 yards and they never see or hear you. The fat barrel works like a light suppressor ... And the ultimate lengths were more than standard. BSA drop blocks . Even a BDL browning bottom eject auto... remember how accurate they were. Carnival guns were nice. The finest 22 in the world is the Marlin 39A... it was Billy Stewart's carry gun . He held the hi bore title 24 years ...died at 78 and never used a scope... so we came home with a level bed load of ammo in the old green 52 Chevy truck.. Top speed 50....Sore shoulders after the May shoot .. half million rounds of ww2 30;06... to play with . Then the presses and fresh primers on .. million brass half million loaded... why so many Billy ? He grabbed my shirt and pulled me close and said...korea son. Chosin Reservoir then a full length retreat... he said about half million bodies in a few days. Maybe double no one knew. They kept coming ... I know a cowboy named Ringo... I worked double o and ORO with him... he has citations for killing more men than anyone in history. It was unreal. He carried the box clip Winchester 1905 and a Hawes 44mag single action cowboy gun. Showed me where we bury the rustlers when I was 13...its a serious business out there alone. The only time we took em off was sleep and cook shack. Pat Murphy would throw something heavy...and wash yer plate or go pick eggs and milk at 4am ... all week.. I blew the eye out of a quail at 80 yards with the sheriff rangemasters snubby chief. He missed both barrels.. only bird we had a shot at all day ! Years went by and the Ambassador bought out Charlie Green . Out of the marines I'm living in Charlie Grens mansion...playing the queens piano and Kissinger and Chase finished the China Accords and flew in... Richard beat me 6 of 6 at chess... maybe that's why he owns that big bank. So I'm 66 and never killed anybody... never have to with Ringo... yer in the rocking chair... in yavapai county with the cattleman association and miners fully in charge I would make any bet... not a jury would convict... he had the real license to kill. That license weighs a hundred pounds and ya gotta wear it around yer neck... or it's no good ya know. Hes the only guy I knew could carry it... Arizona Republic Valley State section Aug. 26. 1970 Headline picture is Ringo on the courthouse plaza looking across at his new 1969 white chevy truck. About 30 feet from his guns hanging in the window. 100 feet from the palace bar.. where I've lost many classmates to gunfights playing John Wayne. They didnt put the bar back up after the 2005 fire ... just a restaurant and the horse above the doorway was put to pasture too... thank god that stuff is over.. July 19. 1995 is his obituary Prescott Courier... this was a really tough smart human being.... I can barely comprehend... that such men in great numbers existed... he should really have gotten the congressional medal of honor.... then that medal would REALLY mean something... upgrade it with his presence... I rode the ORO with Ringo... wow !

Nice vid again. Great to see you test out at 100 yds. I thought the .17 would have gone better than it did. Obviously just disintegrated on impact.

Got to get a 22 mag ! Great video

Great comparison. Obviously, the heavier .22 mag round retains more energy at longer range, that's the main reason I've never gotten on the .17 cal bandwagon, but I have shot a few and they are fun, and do have their place, just not in my gun cabinet.

Love the milk jug tests!

That .22 mag. was on a mission!

I have gained a new respect for the 22 WMR. Thanks for the video!

You know how you can tell a guy is "Down-To-Earth", and really cool...? He's got a Beagle. Oh...and kids.

Depends on wind- ammunition type and target

My money was on the Magnum before you pulled the trigger. The Mighty Mag Wins! Make Magnums Great Again!

yess yesss yes ben waiting for this thank you.

That 17 dumps its energy hard and fast. The 22 mag surprised me. Looks like you can’t go wrong with either. Thanks!

Awesome vid 👍👍 could u do the 17 wsm next

I was surprised to I thought that the 17 would have at last went through the second milk jug. Enjoy your videos

Got an 11 yr old beagle. Love him alot. Our kids have grown now and left old Jake with us. Great channel

Cousin Jim, a retired Army officer, asked me to sight in his CZ 22LR bolt action with a Sweet 16 scope on it. He wanted to be able to hit the X at 100 yds. I only had a communication problem it seems. I spent about ½ an hour getting down to the X ring. But, I had to give up on hitting the X. As I explained to Cousin Jim, " I can a hair above the X. Or I can hit a hair below the X. I just cain't hit the X." And he says, "just keep trying, Chuck, watch your breathing, you can do it!". But I finally gave up and took that rifle back to him outside of Spartanburg. A week later he called and said, "Chuck! You're right on it! What were you complaining about? Every shot is In the X Ring! You cain't ask for better than that!" "Jim", I replied, "you said I had to hit the X!"

The 17hmr very likely blew up, hence no penetration as such. I had a 22 mag for yrs and I found that the hollow points did not expand much. I saw a vid in KZfaq a few yrs ago that showed a 22 mag. of the Remington variety that was specifically a Jacketed Soft Point using ballistic gel compared to other varieties and - The cavity and expansion was tremendous and really surprised me. My 22 mag was a Marlin with clip feed, model now unknown. I deemed it accurate out to 100 yards for varmints. It had the infamous MarShfield finish on it I believe it was called. Aget about 2 yrs I thought I would refinish the wood but unsure what I would find. To my surprise I found, really nice quality Walnut and it looked super nice when I was finished

Love the .22 magnum! Great video, thanks!

Hello, I liked the video. What I'd like to see is a comparison of the 17hmr to 22mag 30 gr to 22mag 50 gr. I know you probably have plenty of other comparisons to make but this would be awesome. Thank you

Missed live for the last 4 days because paying me double time on double shifts makes the company more money than hiring another person . $2500 a week still rocks but not much time for me crap !

I wouldn’t guessed that neither well I’m not to swift on rimfires great video brother GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏

I did 17hmr hornady 17 grain polymer tip at 70 meters so 76 yards 1x 4ltr jug like your using and I caught it in a 2 litre bottle behind it

Love the videos...even the commercial was cute (you didn’t possibly reverse-edit the result, knowing the outcome??!). At any rate, with hollow points, I would think the goal is more expansion than penetration. Have you tested a 17 HMR SOLID point at 100yds? I bet it would do better. Thanks! (Love shooting .22 mag from my Henry lever!)

If you want to see a better weight retention from the 17HMR get the CCI Game point 20gr. with my gel tests the only round that I found that holds majority of its mass is that Game Point all of the 17 grain bullets essentially disintegrate on impact of anything even close to resembling tissue. I shot at 10yds 50yds and 100yds into gel and all are very similar even at 10 yards I was able to retrieve the 20gr Game Point and on average only lost about 0.3gr of its mass. as to the other 17gr hollows and tipped rounds were totally destroyed within 6 inches.

@ 7:27 , you got the Hubble Telescope on that ? lol...great video btw, thank you for posting these and imo if Junior chose the odd-ball, then everyone wins and gets candy.

Definitely a lot more different than I thought it would be

I shot a little Gatorade bottle with my 17hmr from about 5 yards and the same thing happened, i couldn't find anything in the bottle. They really do explode lol. I love the 17hmr. I really like the 22 magnum also but the savage 93r17 minimalist is my favorite gun to shoot and its a cheap gun but alot of fun and super accurate. I love your videos i wish i had some property to shoot atleast 100yds but i have to travel to do that

I was not expecting that, I figured the .17 HMR would at least make it through a few milk jugs.

😆 I'm thinking I've already seen this fun video but I have to say y'all's puppy dog played a real trick on y'all.🤣 Somehow I figured he was going to that.😆

We would use the 17 for bunny's. It was a mess. The wind would take them everywhere. It would destroy the wabbit. Longer range 70+ yards with our Kansas wind. I kept my 10/22. We no longer have a 17 in our collection. Never had any issues with the 22mag. Mostly used the 22lr. So this was a great comparison for my eyes. I knew the 17 already. I was surprised on how many jugs the mag went thru. Thank you. I appreciate your demonstrations.

You got a howler dog? Man I had a beagle/lab mix we adopted as a puppy in 89, she passed around 2000 from cancer. Loved that dog, never got another one after that. On the video, watching your tests and overall series on the 22wmr has basically cemented my conclusion that I made a good choice picking up the RAR in that caliber.
