I would like to hunt coyotes on WMA property. Since WMA restricts bullet use to rimfires only....in your opinion,which caliber would be the best choice? 22 magnum or 17 hmr. Thanks
Someone needs to read some ballistic charts and understand the difference between velocity and energy. . Your statement is far from the truth.Coyote Slayer said:I use a 22 magnum. get the fastest rounds you can find. faster rounds have more knockdown power.
stik said:22mag by far. I wanted one of those 17's until I shot one.
Can't speak for stik but mine is a tack driver. Never hunted with it other than killing a few tree rats that were getting in my roof air vents. The 17-grain v-max bullet will put a quarter size hole through them.LanceS4803 said:stik said:22mag by far. I wanted one of those 17's until I shot one.
Don't leave us hanging.
I've never shot a 17. How was it?

I have to agree about not being impressed with the 17 have owned one the mag is a favorite. Shote P-dogs out to 200 yards with one.stik said:LanceS4803 said:stik said:22mag by far. I wanted one of those 17's until I shot one.

I just wasn't impressed and already had a 22mag.
