[QUOTE="Yotekiller, post: 531197, member: 34106"] In my opinion 17HMR is the best coon hunting round ever developed. I have hunted with hounds for many years with a 22 LR. The 22LR could not penetrate the skull of a large MN coon. Thousands of times have I hit one in the head multiple times and they would do nothing more than shake their head. When I would skin them there would be a bunch of holes in the hide where I had shot them, but the bullets wouldn't go through the skull. When they came out of a tree they were fighting with the dog. I have shot hundreds of coon with 17HMR. Never do I have a coon fighting with the dog, they are dead before they hit the ground with one shot. Penetrates the skull every time & explodes. Rarely do I ever have an exit hole out the back of a coons head. For coyotes I would want more penetration than that. Hit one in the shoulder it wont make it to the vitals. I rarely get close enough shots at coyotes to aim at the head. [/QUOTE]
