17HMR and 22mag ammo isn't remotely close to center fire ammo price and they both at least double the energy and more like triple or quadruple the range of a 22lr.

I don't have a 22WMR, so the price info I got was from a web search. Unless you are a reloader, steel case ammo works just fine. When you are comparing the power difference between 22lr and 22 wmr, then look at the 223. The power increase of the wmr is relatively low compared to the price increase.
