out of a pistol, the 22wmr is no different than a 22lr.

Out of a rifle, the energy is great, but the HP rounds often don't penetrate deep enough because they fragmentate within 5 inches or so.

The round is only good for small game. If you want a defense weapon against human beings, it's a poor choice.

further more and slightly off topic, I see the 22wmr completely replacing the pointless 22lr in the next 30 years.
