I can't believe I'm still taking flack for this, but it seems to me people don't know how effective this little round is. I wrote a thread a few weeks ago asking advice on using 22 WMR for eastern coyotes. A third of the responders said go ahead, while the majority said no way it's not enough gun. well i'm happy to say there wrong. dead wrong. i told a friend at work about the kill, it was a neck shot at 35 yrds, and he had the gall to tell me that if I had used a real rifle the yote wouldn't have ran the 30 or so feet before it stoped. I asked how far his last years deer ran when shot with a .270 and he kinda murmured "about 400 yds" but that was different, his shot was humane,( through the vitals)mine was luck that it hit spinal cord. I called him a hipocrite, were stil friends, we just differ on this issue. just so you all know, at the shot the yotes legs locked stiff and her head locked to the right side, she lungged on her back leggs for 10 to 15 feet then plowed the rest. I think she was dead at the shot and her leggs kept going aways any way the gun holds an inch at 80 yards, and i used remmington premeier 33gr ballistic tip rounds. just wanted to vent thanks for reading
