Tam tried the Kel-Tec PMR and RMR at the LuckyGunner Blogger Shoot and questions the utility of the .22 Magnum (WMR) round …

I’ll be up front and admit that I still don’t get the point. .22WMR is in that gray area where it’s marginal as an antipersonnel round, but will turn a squirrel or rabbit inside out, making it a bit too much for hunting small game for the pot. It’s obviously better on varmints than .22LR, but so are lots of things, like .22 Hornet, which is reloadable.
