Where are you going to shoot?
Sometimes that's a big factor in what you need.

This is a big one. Long range shooting spots have been getting scarce. If you don't have your own land or somewhere close by you will never get enough practice.
These are valid points^^^
I'd like to add to this.
I don't look at long range criteria in yardage, but what is long for a caliber. If you can shoot a 4" plate @ 300yrds with a .17hmr consistently, I would consider that long range. Also, very impressive. Don't get hung up on going super long if you don't have the room or feel like taxing your budget. I will say the same for shooting the 22lr.
Damn good shooting man!If you are doing that with a .17 HMR on anything but a dead calm day, you have definitely mastered the ability to read the wind, lol.
Tried it at 300 with Shasta cans and would consistently hit on one side or the other from very slight changes in the wind.

Shooting at long distance is not the same as shooting at 200 - 300 yards. Why? Because when the bullet goes trans-sonic from supersonic to subsonic it behaves differently. The effect of wind and Coriolis effect take on major effects on the trajectory. The really nice thing about my 45-70 load is a 535 grain bullet starts at 1100 fps and never really has a trans-sonic wall to deal with down range. There are several really good books about shooting at long range. Search the web and buy a couple
agree justme gbot tumI'm probably one of the very few that disagrees with the rimfire philosophy considering the trends and innovations that are happening in that area. I feel like a person is better served with something like a 223 or similar that has recoil to and movement to help learn proper follow through and recoil management.
