[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 708586, member: 19778"] None of my friends are expert military snipers, so maybe not, but the two who used to use the 22 mag on DNR land that required 22 rimfire have killed coyotes easy past 200 yards with the 22-250's 25-06's 243's etc with almost 100% success. you can search coyotes and 223 and failure on google on forums where people have failures with the 223 Remington on coyotes, even using the vmax. I have read many stories of coyote running off after being hit with a 223 and a good varmint bullet. So your trying to say the .22 mag has more knock down power than the 223?? OMG!!! really depends on where you hunt, some parts of the country like out west coyotes may sit still for you forever, but here, you do not have the luxury of coyotes sitting still for long at all, and well places heart or brain shots on a trotting coyote are pipe dream. a low velocity .22 mag that pencil through a coyotes lungs will not expand much if at all. it may die, but it will run 50 miles and die a week later. While a 22-250 and a 40 vmax at 4000 fps in the lungs will still expand and blow the coyotes insides up. killing it instantly. it will !! if you like 50% or lower chances. Good luck on ur hunts [/QUOTE]
