I'm sure it's been mentioned. Sorry, I'm going to be lazy and not read all 8 pages here.
I have a cz455 with a .22 WMR barrel and the Hornady VMAX shoot amazing out of it. The issue with most 22WMR bullets is that out past 100yds is that they are moving too slow to get the full potential.
I think at 100 yds the 30 vmax is only going 1400fps. That's enough to cause some expansion of the bullet, but not anything significant. At 200yds it's barely going 1000fps, which is not expanding the bullet at all.
I'm not sure if jackets can get thin enough to give them the frangibility of the traditional VMax with it's explosive effects to have them shoot well enough and to not have them explode in air.
22WMR is a good cartridge, but has just a small niche in the hunting world in my opinion. The 17HMR is a much better cartridge for prairie dogs in terms of flat, energy dump, range and yes, even wind. The 22WMR is way worse in the wind than the .17HMR.
