[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 364888, member: 4191"] I've killed one coyote in my life with a 22WMR at 110 yds - standing broadside and dead centered it in the chest just behind the front legs. DRT - dropped in his tracks. We used to hunt and shoot a lot of red fox with the 22WMR using the 40 grain JHPs. Use the JHPs. I would be reluctant to take shots past 150 yds if you want the expectation of quick kills. If the velocity slows to where the bullets don't expand very violently, then I predict the round will not kill quickly and effectively. There was a huge difference between 22 LR and 22 WMR on red fox. Common to wound even fox with the 22 LRs. The 22 WMR goes just fast enough with the thinly jacketed bullets to be a much superior killer. Out to 125 yds I'd be pretty confident. Past 150 yds I'd expect the worst. [/QUOTE]
