Andy L put it best. Why try to kill anything bigger than a squirrel with 17 grains of lead? I love hunting coyotes and the like, but there is no animal that deserves to suffer just because we humans want to see if our little rimfires can kill them. I have a CZ .17 that is wonderful for praire rats, but I won't shoot anything bigger with it.

As a kid I killed a deer with a .22. I didn't find him until a few days later and I'm sure he suffered greatly for my stupid actions. I don't intend to do it again.
