Stick with the 22WMR a little heavier projectile will fight the wind better than the 17 will and the arch in bullet trajectory is negligible within the the distances you are talking.

Interesting perspective.... since the 17HMR has LESS wind drift than the 22mag... by a full 10 INCHES at 200 yards in a 10mph crosswind.
17HMR, 2550fps, 17gr
22mag, 2200fps, 30gr
