I'm told by locals up there that most of the small game in Alaska could easily be taken with a .22LR IF you can get close enough to them. There's also the issue of wind, which apparently the .17 WSM handles like a boss. If the ammo is cheaper than other .17 calibers and .22 Mag, then this new .17 WSM may fill an actual need.
get off my van bro!!
and the 17wsm is not cheaper. its $15 a box. But still cheaper than any smaller caliber centerfire. what type of small game you talkn bout in alaska

I'm looking at grouse (basically an arctic prairie chicken), ptarmigan, hares.
When I was up there the last few months, I did some scouting around and stalking. In brushy areas, a .22LR or .410 will work great.
In the flat open alpine and tundra type areas, I had hell getting in easy .22 LR range (considering winds). That's why I think I may need another solution.
