Default Re: 22LR or .17HMR

from researching which caliber I want for my first rifle I ended up with .22lr. It seems much better suited for plinking and target shooting and is cheap. The others I was told to only look into if I was interested in hunting etc as the bullet expands when it hits something. Hence better suited for varmit hunting. It also has a flatter trajectory than the .22 which helps the hunters more than target shooters who already know what ranges they are shooting at. This is how I understood it.
