To say that the .22Mag has no advantage over the .22LR is to say that the .357 has no advantage over the .38Spl. It features a heavier, tougher jacketed bullet at 300-400fps higher velocity over the .22LR's swaged lead. That's a significant step up. No, it doesn't make much difference if all you're doing is punching paper or tin cans but it makes a big difference in hunting small game and varmints. Last time I bought .22Mag ammo it cost me the same $8/50rds that it costs me to reload .38Spl and the .22Mag shoots a LOT flatter. Not to mention the time I don't have to spend at the reloading bench. IMHO, the .22Mag definitely has a place but some people are too closed-minded to realize it.
