A greatly under-appreciated cartridge, but hardly obsolete. My first cartridge handgun was a Colt Frontier Scout in this caliber and was my constant woods companion for several years. Later handed it "up" to my father and then "down" to my son after Dad passed. It served all three of us well.

I carried a .22 Mag High Standard derringer as my last ditch BUG throughout my LE career.

My current favorite rifle is a Savage 93FV in this caliber and it is more accurate than I am. If you want a bargain load for the 22WRM, try Fiocchi. I bought a brick of this at about $7 per 50 thinking it would be good for plinking and familiarizing myself with the rifle's trigger. Should have bought 2 or 3. Shockingly accurate and very consistent.
