Are you talking about the new Winchester
.17WSM Winchester Super Mag?
That is out now and I have seen ammo for it on Gunbroker.
People are scalping the ammo now, Winchester set the price point about $15/50 when they first announced the round. Gunbroker has it for around twice that or more.
This round is a .29 caliber contractor round - the one for driving studs into concrete, Winchester simply necked it down to .17 caliber and load it with a 20gr bullet. Suppose to have a muzzle velocity of 3000fps and take a coyote at 300yds. Savage rifle I believe is the B mag model.

.22 win mag and .22 WMR (winchester magnum rimfire) are the same round but there are other rounds like the .22 WMF witch is an older version of the .22 WMR that will work in a .22 WMR gun but the guns made for .22 WMF have not really been made since the 20's and 30's. then the there are 3 major .17 rounds with a 3 letter acronym and 3 without .17 HMR (Hornady magnum rimfire), .17 WSM (winchester super magnum), .17 HM2 (Hornady match 2) finally the .17 Remington, .17 Remington fireball and .17 hornet
