no.

next question...

im sorry you're still living 19th century

>the future of rim fires
... still is the .22LR
what's difficult in the concept of the cheapest ammo ever, fuccboi?

dude, you asked the question. If you want to actually spark a discussion, make an assertion and follow it up with your reasoning. Making a thread with a yes/no question is such an intellectually lazy way to start a discussion, and you shouldn't be upset when you don't get anything more than equally lazy yes/no answers. for example instead of

>is 17 WSM the future of rim fires?

write

>17 WSM is the future of rim fires because XYZ

it has nothing to do with "the 19th century".

literally MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people own .22lr firearms.

for .22lr to be replaced it would take decades.

also... .22lr is the cheapest ammo available in the WORLD (on average).

good luck changing that.

regardless of how superior 17wsm is ballisticaly over .22lr, you will NEVER see .22lr dethroned in your lifetime.

>the venerable 30-06 will never be replaced. 556 "nato" is just a fad

5.56 is cheaper than 30.06 .17 WSM is not cheaper than .22lr

replacing a standard issue military cartridge from one caliber to another is not the same as the question [posed].

Won't you look silly when the military adopts .17wsm as their PDW cartridge.

>.22LR is popular because its rimfire!
>not because its cheap as fuck!

are you retarded, op?

Would be dumb to use a rimfire cartridge when the 5.7x28 is of similar size, ballistically superior, and centerfire.

>is 17 WSM the future of rim fires?
Not unless the price becomes competitive with 22lr.
22lr will always be king of rimfire so long as it's cheap as it is vs anything else.

No. You're dumb.

Tell me, how many people blink with 11cpr. 30-06? How many handguns in the market for 30-06? Small game, training, comfort after 500 rounds?

That has nothing to do with your question stupid fuck. .22 is incredibly popular. Id say the most popular round in the US. Now go fuck yourself turbofag.

>what's difficult in the concept of the cheapest ammo ever

Reloading .25ACP with buckshot.

>556 is. 30-06 replacement

Lol. How exaxtly did you come up with that?

>military using a rimfire

God you're dumb.

Damn, a .17 WSM can almost penetrate 1/4" steel.

>Reloading .25ACP with buckshot.

Commercial, ready on the shelf ammo, WITHOUT reloading smartass.

>moving the goalpost.
