Looking for input - RAR .22 Mag at 100 yards

[t-reg]

I'm ready to purchase a RAR as a winter walking rifle. The main use for the rifle will be long range squirrels with some vermin and varmints thrown in.

I prefer (by a very slim margin) the ballistics of the .22WMR over the .17HMR. The kicker is the 100(+) yard accuracy potential between the two cartridges in the RAR.

I am confident that the .17 would easily fulfill the accuracy requirements (minute of squirrel head) with a variety of ammo.

What I'm looking for is some real world info on the accuracy potential of the RAR .22 Magnum with a variety of ammo brands and types.

Thanks for for any and all input!

There is a dedicated section on the American Rimfires over at RFC, lots of info.

Just a thought, 22 wmr is hard to find 17 is everywhere.

Granted, those are 50yd groups, but I think the RAR in .22 mag is more than capable of minute-of-squirrel at 100 yds. Those groups were shot with CCI Maxi-Mag TMJ. I have some 30 gr. V-Max I am anxious to try as well.
