I went from .22LR to .22WM a few years ago and have not looked back. I mostly take headshots when squirrel hunting anyway (the LR damages the meat on a squirrel also), but if I can't get the head shot, I put it through the ribs and no damage to the shoulders, not much meat lost. Much better range with the WM over the LR, more power, all around better round in my opinion.
