.17rem and coyotes

[Andy L]

I swore I would never get in another argument about this again....

17 Rem is not only capable, but one of the best there is for coyotes, especially if you want the fur. It is a shot placement round though. Shoulder and hip shots are not going to cut it. So, if you take risky shots or cant shoot to begin with, its not for you. If you can place one in the bread basket, the 25gr Berger or VMax, travelling at over 4000fps kills like a bolt of lightning.

I have personally killed coyotes in their tracks from 6' to 289 yards, without exits. I know of a fella that has killed several over 400 yards.

Shot placement. If you cant do it, the 17s not for you.
