[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 673103, member: 19778"] Easy guy, no one is calling you a lyer actually I posted before you did on the hunter stories of people I know about the 22 mag being 50% kill ratio, and you get on call me a lyer and say more or less the 22 mag is the death ray of all inside 125 yards. let us cool our tongues and keep adult about it. WE all here have a common interest, we like to hunt those coyotes. back to the debate the 223 is a successful rifle, but there have been stories of people losing coyotes to no so perfect shots *shoulder bone hit etc, and the dog ran off,. Maybe you are a really good shot a moving animals, or have a quick aim. most are not, coyotes do not sit still for long and spook easy. you don't always have time to take a perfect heart shot, a quick aim at center mass and squeeze trigger. a moving coyote would almost be invincible to the 22 mag . and weakling 17 hmr. This is where a 22-250 with a 50 vmax at 3900-4000 fps will help a hunter, the bullet penetrates inside and blows up or fragmentation into shrapnel going through vital organs. even 3000 fps is like magic The slow moving 22 mag does not have the velocity to do this time bomb thing, and the small 32 grain bullets will turn to dust on bone hit. a perfect brain or heart shot is nothing to brag about for the caliber, a 22 lr or a high power 22 cal pellet gun could do the same.
