I am somewhat of a coinsurer of the .22 mag cartridge. I have an Anchutze and a Marlin 882 SSV – both very accurate. I have done a lot of ammo testing and have found the Winchester Supreme to be the most accurate round out there for my rifles. The CCI and the Remington are not “ inaccurate “ however the Winchesters do group noticeably tighter. I think the .22 mag cartridge is far superior to the new .17 Hornady cartridge. There is all of this hype out there that it has a flatter trajectory, however this is only slightly noticeably past 125 yards, the .22 mag shoots a bullet that weighs nearly twice as much, almost as fast – just look at the energy comparisons – that’s where the advantage shows - the .22 mag makes about 300 ft. lbs of energy and the .17 Hornady doesn’t even make 200. I think once all of the hype it is receiving because it is new goes away, the .22 Mag will go on to significantly outsell the .17 in the future.
