[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 1997988, member: 18206"] If you want reliability that is the issue with rimfire. I would recommend that you stay away from bulk ammo as this is not consistent when it comes to grouping. If you ever notice when you do a 10 shot group you may have fliers that will be high or low and than there will be the failure to fire and you may have to turn the round around so that the firing pin will hit a different part of the primer. For reliability and consistency you may want to use premium ammo like lapua, sks, rws, eley, wolf and so on. I have some premium ammo for hunting purposes but for plinking I started buying only CCI and Aguila brand as I find for my rifles these brands perform very well. I practice with these brands at 230 yards on clay targets and am able to hit fragments as well. In your case you need to find out what your rifle likes best as they can be very finicky. This means you need to shoot groups at 50 and/or 100 yards preferably at 125 to 150 for your distance to coyotes hopefully with head shots or behind the ear. Remember if one type of ammo shoots good at 50 that may not shoot good at 100 so find out which ammo is your rifle likes best. I'm sure you know that distance and wind will effect your bullet tremendously. If 22 magnum is allowed I would prefer this caliber over the 22lr for coyote at 125 yards. [/QUOTE]
